Start with bismillah.

Look at the sky on a cloudy day and a sunny day. Ask: "How do they make you feel?"

Watch the SciShow Kids video What Are Clouds Made Of?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will other faces be like?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will some faces be gloomy?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qiyamah is surah 75. Find ayah 24. The key word basirah means gloomy, frowning. After the shining faces, the surah describes faces full of worry. Our choices now help decide which we'll be.

Fact: Why do some clouds look dark grey and others white?

Ages 5–8: Cloud in a jar. Fill a jar with water, add shaving foam on top, and drip coloured water. Watch it "rain".

Ages 9–12: Cloud diary. Draw the clouds each day for a week. Which ones brought rain?

Finish with: "I found that some clouds look dark because ___."

Talk together:

• How can we choose to be among the shining faces?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can we do when we feel gloomy now?
• How can we cheer someone up?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I feel gloomy, I will make dua and do a kind deed."

• Make the cloud jar with your family.
• Tell someone why some clouds look dark.
• Next time: the next ayah (75:25) says they expect something crushing. Explore it together!

Action: Make dua when you feel low.
