Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever missed something important because you were busy with something else?"

Watch the slow-motion video of a kingfisher diving.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happened to the man who came eagerly?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I avoid being distracted from what matters?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 10. The key word talahha means you were distracted, occupied with something else. Allah taught that the sincere learner should come first.

Fact: How does a kingfisher focus on a fish under the water?

Ages 5–8: Focus test. Try to colour a picture while someone talks to you. Then try in quiet. Which is better?

Ages 9–12: Bird focus. Find out how a kingfisher keeps its eyes on a fish while diving.

Finish with: "I found that a kingfisher focuses by ___."

Talk together:

• What distracts you from things that matter?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What did Allah teach through this story?
• How can we give priority to people who sincerely want to learn?
• What lesson from ayat 1 to 10 will you remember?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will put away distractions during salah and Quran."

• Try the focus test.
• Share the lesson of ayat 1 to 10 with your family.
• Next time: the next ayah (80:11) says this Quran is a reminder. Explore it together!

Action: Put away distractions during salah and Quran.
