Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Where does a river end?"

Watch the European Space Agency video about the Mississippi River Delta from space.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who knows the end of the Hour?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah know everything?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nazi'at is surah 79. Find ayah 44. The key words ila rabbika muntahaha mean its end is with your Lord. Every river reaches its end, and every matter ends with Allah.

Fact: How does a river delta form?

Ages 5–8: River's end. Draw a river from a mountain to the sea, spreading into many small streams at the end.

Ages 9–12: Delta shapes. Find out why some deltas look like fans and others like bird's feet.

Finish with: "I found that deltas form when ___."

Talk together:

• Why is it comforting that everything ends with Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we make sure our "end" is a good one?
• What do we say when we hear someone has died? (inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un)
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn what 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un' means."

• Learn the meaning of "inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un".
• Show someone your river drawing.
• Look at a river delta on a map.
• Next time: the next ayah (79:45) says the Prophet ﷺ is only a warner. Explore it together!

Action: Learn what 'inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un' means.
