And it is said: is there anyone who can cure him?
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens inside your body after you take medicine?"
Watch the TED-Ed video How does your body process medicine?
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do people ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who really heals us?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qiyamah is surah 75. Find ayah 27. The key words man raq mean "who can cure?" People look for any cure, but when a life's time has come, no medicine can change it. Medicine helps only by Allah's permission.
Fact: Which plants have been used to make medicines?
Ages 5–8: Thank-you card. Make a card for a doctor or nurse who helped you.
