Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you think a fish finds its way back to the river where it was born?"

Watch the Fox and Bee video How Do Salmon Find Their Way?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where is the final place?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean to return to Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qiyamah is surah 75. Find ayah 12. The key words ila rabbika yawma'idhinil-mustaqarr mean to your Lord, that Day, is the place of settling. Salmon swim thousands of kilometres back to their home river. Every journey of ours ends with Allah.

Fact: How do salmon use smell to find their home river?

Ages 5–8: Home map. Draw the path from your bed to your front door. Could you find it with your eyes closed?

Ages 9–12: Salmon journey. Find out how far some salmon travel to get home.

Finish with: "I found that salmon find home using ___."

Talk together:

• What does it feel like to come home after a long trip?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is it comforting that everything returns to Allah?
• How can we get ready for that return?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say bismillah when I leave home and when I come back."

• Say bismillah leaving and returning home.
• Share your home map.
• Tell someone how far salmon travel.
• Next time: the next ayah (75:13) says people will be told all they did. Explore it together!

Action: Say bismillah when you leave home and when you come back.
