Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do farmers separate wheat from chaff?"

Hear the opening minutes of Al-Anfal in Omar Hisham Al-Arabi's voice, from Omar Hisham Al Arabi.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah separate?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why must good and bad be separated in the end?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anfal is surah 8. Find ayah 37. In this life, good and bad are mixed. On the Day of Judgment, Allah will separate them fairly. The bad ends in Hell, mentioned in one line. We pray to be among the good.

Fact: How farmers winnow grain, letting the wind blow away the chaff.

Ages 5–8: Sort it. Sort good and bad apples or beans.

Ages 9–12: Winnowing. Write how winnowing is like the Day of Judgment.

Finish with: "Winnowing separates grain from ___."

Talk together:

• What will Allah separate?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why separate good and bad?
• How can you be among the good?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do something good every day."

• Good and bad will separate.
• Sort the beans.
• Be among the good.
• Next time: the next ayah (8:38) offers forgiveness if they stop. Explore it together!

Action: Do something good every day.
