Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why does a pufferfish make itself look so big?"

Watch the Learn about Animals video about pufferfish facts.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How did he walk?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do people show off?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qiyamah is surah 75. Find ayah 33. The key word yatamatta means walking proudly, swaggering. A pufferfish blows itself up to look big, but inside it's still a small fish. Pride makes people look big while making them smaller.

Fact: How does a pufferfish puff itself up?

Ages 5–8: Balloon puff. Blow up a balloon. Is it heavier, or just bigger?

Ages 9–12: Humble heroes. Find a famous person who was very humble. What did they do?

Finish with: "I found that a pufferfish puffs up by ___."

Talk together:

• Why is pride dangerous?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we be proud of good things without showing off?
• Who is someone humble you admire?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will let someone else go first."

• Show the balloon puff.
• Tell someone how pufferfish puff up.
• Next time: the next ayah (75:34) gives a warning. Explore it together!

Action: Let someone else go first.
