Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What do squirrels do in autumn to get ready for winter?"

Watch the SciShow Kids video How Do Squirrels Find the Food They Hide?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do they leave aside?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I get ready for the Hereafter?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qiyamah is surah 75. Find ayah 21. The key words tadharunal-akhirah mean you leave the Hereafter. A squirrel works in autumn for a winter it can't see yet. Wise people prepare for the Hereafter in the same way.

Fact: How many nuts can a squirrel hide in one autumn?

Ages 5–8: Hide and find. Hide five acorns or pebbles in the garden. Can you find them all a day later?

Ages 9–12: Prepare list. Write five things you can do today that help you in the Hereafter.

Finish with: "I found that a squirrel can hide about ___ nuts."

Talk together:

• Why do people forget to prepare for what they can't see?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What is one thing you can "store up" for the Hereafter?
• How can we remind each other kindly?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will store up one extra good deed every day."

• Store up an extra good deed daily.
• Play hide and find.
• Tell someone how many nuts a squirrel hides.
• Next time: the next ayah (75:22) speaks of faces shining that Day. Explore it together!

Action: Store up one extra good deed every day.
