Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why do we forget things, even important ones?"

Watch the Dr. Binocs video "Why Do We Forget?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the Quran?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does the Quran remind me of?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 11. The key word tadhkirah means a reminder. We all forget, so Allah sent the Quran to remind us of what matters.

Fact: Why does the brain forget some things and remember others?

Ages 5–8: Forget-me-not. Draw the little blue forget-me-not flower and write one thing you never want to forget about Allah.

Ages 9–12: Memory test. Read a list of ten words once. How many can you remember after an hour? After a day?

Finish with: "I found that we forget things because ___."

Talk together:

• What does the Quran remind us of?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why do we need reminding every day?
• How can we keep the reminder fresh?
• What reminder from the Quran do you love most?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will read or listen to a little Quran every day."

• Read or listen to Quran daily.
• Show someone your forget-me-not drawing.
• Put a small Quran reminder note in your room.
• Next time: the next ayah (80:12) says whoever wishes will remember it. Explore it together!

Action: Read or listen to a little Quran every day.
