Start with bismillah.

Put a pillow in the middle of the room. Ask: "What would happen if nobody ever slept? Not people, not cats, not birds?" Let everyone guess.

Watch the short video of animals sleeping. Which animal's way of sleeping surprised you most? Would you like to sleep like that?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What gift is this ayah talking about? Did you ever think of it as a gift?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does my body need to sleep at all?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naba' is surah 78, the first surah of Juz 'Amma. Find ayah 9. How many ayat come before it?

Fact: How many hours of sleep do children your age need each night?

Look it up together in a health book or a trusted health website, or ask your family doctor.

Ages 5–8: Be a sleep detective for three days. Draw a moon when you go to bed and a sun when you wake up. With a grown-up, count the hours in between.

Ages 9–12: Keep a sleep log for one week: bedtime, wake-up time, and how you felt in the morning (fresh, okay or tired). On which days did you feel best? What do you notice?

Finish with: "I found that I sleep about ___ hours, and I feel best when ___."

Talk together:

• Who made our bodies need rest?
• Who keeps our hearts beating and our lungs breathing while we sleep?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How do you feel after a good night's sleep? And after a bad one?
• What could be a good way to thank Allah for sleep?

Make a small plan: "This week, before bed, I will ___ at ___ o'clock, with ___."

• Tick a box each morning.
• Show your sleep log or drawings to someone at home and explain what you found out.
• Ask a grandparent: "What helped you sleep well when you were small?"
• Next time: the ayat around this one (78:6–11) point to more of Allah's signs in our day and night. Explore them together!

Action: Practise your bedtime plan for one week.
