Start with bismillah.

Pull a blanket over yourself. Ask: "How does it feel to be covered and cosy?"

Watch the minutephysics video "Why is it Dark at Night?". (It has music.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah make the night like?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why isn't the night sky bright, with so many stars?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 10. The key word libasa means a garment, a covering. The night wraps around us like clothing, so we can rest.

Fact: Why is the night sky dark even though there are billions of stars?

Ages 5–8: Night picture. Draw your house at night covered by a dark "blanket" sky with stars.

Ages 9–12: Dark sky places. Find out what a "dark sky reserve" is and why it matters for animals.

Finish with: "I found that the night sky is dark because ___."

Talk together:

• How is the night like a blanket?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does the night help animals and people do?
• What duas do you say at night?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will switch off screens before bed and say my night duas."

• Screens off before bed; say your duas.
• Show someone your night picture.
• Turn off outside lights to help night animals.
• Next time: the next ayah (78:11) says the day is for earning a living. Explore it together!

Action: Switch off screens before bed and say your night duas.
