Start with bismillah.

Blow gently on a feather, then blow hard. Ask: "What changed?"

Watch the National Geographic video Hurricanes 101.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How do these winds blow?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can air become so strong?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 2. The key word al-'asifat means winds that blow hard, like a storm. The same wind that cools us can also become a powerful storm.

Fact: How do hurricanes form over warm oceans?

Ages 5–8: Spin it. Stir water in a clear bowl and drop in a little glitter. Watch it swirl like a storm.

Ages 9–12: Storm scale. Find the five categories of hurricanes. What wind speed is each one?

Finish with: "I found that hurricanes get their power from ___."

Talk together:

• Why can wind be gentle one day and strong the next?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who controls the storms?
• How can we stay safe and calm in a storm?
• What could you say to Allah when you hear strong wind?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I hear strong wind, I will ask Allah for its good."

• Make a family storm safety plan.
• Show someone the swirling bowl.
• Ask Allah for the good of the wind.
• Next time: the next ayah (77:3) speaks of winds that spread things far and wide. Explore it together!

Action: This week, when you hear strong wind, ask Allah for its good.
