Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do rockets get through the sky into space?"

Watch the NASA Space Place video "How Do We Launch Things into Space?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will happen to the sky?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What is beyond the sky?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 19. The key word abwaba means doors, gateways. On that Day the sky will open up in many places.

Fact: How fast must a rocket go to reach space?

Ages 5–8: Straw rocket. Make a paper rocket and launch it by blowing through a straw.

Ages 9–12: Rocket stages. Find out why big rockets drop parts as they go up.

Finish with: "I found that a rocket must go ___ to reach orbit."

Talk together:

• The sky seems closed and solid. What does this ayah teach us?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can we learn from how powerful the sky's changes will be?
• How can we prepare calmly?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will look at the sky and remember the Day it will open."

• Look up and remember Allah.
• Launch your straw rocket.
• Watch a rocket launch video with your family.
• Next time: the next ayah (78:20) says the mountains will become like a mirage. Explore it together!

Action: Look at the sky and remember the Day it will open.
