Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Which plant grows the fastest in the world?"

Watch Boxlapse's bamboo growing time-lapse. (It has music.)

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How soon is 'soon'?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba is surah 78. Find ayah 4. The key words kalla saya'lamun mean "no, they will soon know". The truth about the Hereafter will become clear to everyone.

Fact: How fast can bamboo grow in one day?

Ages 5–8: Growth watch. Plant cress and measure it every day for a week. Draw a growth chart.

Ages 9–12: Fast growers. Find three of the fastest-growing plants or animals.

Finish with: "I found that bamboo can grow ___ in a day."

Talk together:

• Some things take time to become clear. Can you think of one?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is it better to believe now than to find out later?
• How can we get ready for what we will "soon know"?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will get ready for the Hereafter with one good habit."

• Start a good habit for the Hereafter.
• Keep your cress growth chart.
• Find out about bamboo forests.
• Next time: the next ayah (78:5) says it again. Explore it together!

Action: Get ready for the Hereafter with one good habit.
