Start with bismillah.

Go outside early in the morning and listen. Ask: "What can you hear?"

Watch the SciShow video Why Do Birds Sing in the Morning?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When should we remember Allah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Do birds praise Allah in their own way?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Insan is surah 76. Find ayah 25. The key words udhkur isma rabbika bukratan wa asila mean remember your Lord's name morning and evening. Birds sing at dawn, and the day begins and ends with signs of Allah.

Fact: Why do birds sing most at dawn?

Ages 5–8: Dawn chorus. Listen to birds in the morning. How many different songs can you hear?

Ages 9–12: Sunrise times. Find today's sunrise and sunset times. How long is the day?

Finish with: "I found that birds sing at dawn because ___."

Talk together:

• Why is morning and evening a good time to remember Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What words can we say to remember Allah?
• How does starting the day with Allah change it?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say subhanAllah ten times every morning and evening."

• Remember Allah morning and evening.
• Count the bird songs at dawn.
• Share today's sunrise time.
• Next time: the next ayah (76:26) speaks of prostrating and praising at night. Explore it together!

Action: Say subhanAllah ten times every morning and evening.
