Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do we know when Ramadan begins?"

Watch the Chungdahm Learning video about how the Moon makes calendars.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is set for the messengers?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will the messengers be asked?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 11. The key word uqqitat means given a set time. On that Day, the messengers will be gathered at the time Allah has set, to bear witness about the message they delivered.

Fact: How many days are in a lunar month, and why?

Ages 5–8: Moon diary. Draw the Moon every night for a week. How does its shape change?

Ages 9–12: Two calendars. Find today's date in the Islamic calendar. Why does Ramadan move each year?

Finish with: "I found that a lunar month lasts about ___ days."

Talk together:

• Why did Allah give everything a set time?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What do you know about the messengers and their work?
• How can we honour the message they brought?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn the name of one messenger I didn't know well."

• Learn about one messenger.
• Show your family your Moon diary.
• Tell someone today's Islamic date.
• Next time: the next ayah (77:12) asks for which Day this time was set. Explore it together!

Action: Learn the name of one messenger you didn't know well.
