Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What's the fastest animal in the world?"

Watch the BBC video of a peregrine falcon's sky dive.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How do these angels move?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do angels race?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 4. The key word as-sabiqat means those who race ahead. Many scholars explain that the angels race to carry out Allah's commands.

Fact: How fast can a peregrine falcon dive?

Ages 5–8: Speed chart. Draw a cheetah, a car and a falcon. Who is fastest?

Ages 9–12: Streamlined. Find out how a falcon's body shape helps it dive so fast.

Finish with: "I found that a peregrine falcon can dive at ___ km per hour."

Talk together:

• The angels race to obey. What should we race to do?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Which good deeds would you like to be first at?
• How can racing in good be fun with your family?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will try to be first to the prayer mat."

• Race to be first to the prayer mat.
• Show someone your speed chart.
• Look for birds of prey in the sky.
• Next time: the next ayah (79:5) is about those who arrange affairs. Explore it together!

Action: Try to be first to the prayer mat.
