Start with bismillah.

Tell two "facts", one true and one made up. Ask: "Which one is true? How can you tell?"

Watch the CBC Kids video Fact vs. Fake.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is this ayah warning?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do some people deny the truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 15. The key words waylun and al-mukadhdhibin mean woe and those who deny. This line comes ten times in this surah! Each time, it follows a new sign. Here it follows the Day of Decision.

Fact: How can you check whether something you read online is true?

Ages 5–8: Detective. Look at three pictures with an adult. Is each one real or made up?

Ages 9–12: Check it. Pick one claim you heard this week. Find two good sources that agree or disagree.

Finish with: "I found that to check a fact, I can ___."

Talk together:

• Why do you think this line repeats ten times?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is it dangerous to call something false without checking?
• How can we keep our hearts open to the truth?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will check before I share anything I hear."

• Check before you share.
• Count the ten repeated lines in the surah with your family.
• Teach someone how to check a fact.
• Next time: the next ayah (77:16) asks about the earlier peoples. Explore it together!

Action: Check before you share anything you hear.
