Start with bismillah.

Look at the night sky from a bright street, then from a darker place. Ask: "Where could you see more stars?"

Watch the National Geographic short film about how light pollution hides the stars.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happens to the stars?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Will the stars always shine?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mursalat is surah 77. Find ayah 8. The key word tumisat means wiped out or dimmed. On that Day, even the stars will lose their light.

Fact: How many stars can you see from a city compared with a dark place?

Ages 5–8: Star count. Look at the sky through a toilet-paper tube. Count the stars you can see.

Ages 9–12: Dark sky check. Find the nearest dark sky park to your home. Why is it special?

Finish with: "I found that city lights hide stars because ___."

Talk together:

• Stars seem to shine forever. What does this ayah teach us?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What lasts when everything else changes?
• Why should we not hold on too tightly to this world?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will switch off lights we don't need and look at the stars."

• Turn off unused lights.
• Go star-counting with your family.
• Tell someone what tumisat means.
• Next time: the next ayah (77:9) speaks of the sky being opened. Explore it together!

Action: Switch off lights we don't need and look at the stars.
