Start with bismillah.

Clap a rhythm and have someone copy it. Ask: "Can you talk without words?"

Watch the Nat Geo Kids video How Dolphins Communicate.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would I want to say to Allah now?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 37. This is the sixth time the line about the deniers appears. It follows ayat 35–36: a Day when no one speaks or makes excuses. Today, we still have the chance to speak to Allah in dua.

Fact: How do dolphins use clicks and whistles?

Ages 5–8: Whistle names. Each dolphin has its own whistle. Make up a whistle or clap for each person in your family.

Ages 9–12: Animal talk. Find three animals that communicate without words. How does each one do it?

Finish with: "I found that dolphins talk using ___."

Talk together:

• What would you like to say to Allah today?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is dua a gift we should use now?
• How do you speak to Allah when you're happy or sad?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make one dua in my own words each day."

• Make a dua in your own words.
• Teach your family their whistle names.
• Tell someone how dolphins talk.
• Next time: the next ayah (77:38) speaks of everyone being gathered. Explore it together!

Action: Make one dua in your own words each day.
