Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What happens to a garden after a long, cold winter?"

Watch eLapse's time-lapse of a tulip growing from a bulb.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Allah do when He wills?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How will Allah raise everyone?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 22. The key words idha sha'a ansharah mean when He wills, He will raise him. Just as Allah brings flowers back each spring, He will raise every person again.

Fact: How can a tulip bulb stay underground all winter and then flower?

Ages 5–8: Bulb planting. Plant a bulb in a pot with an adult. Mark the date. Wait for spring!

Ages 9–12: Sleeping bulbs. Find out what's stored inside a bulb that helps it grow in spring.

Finish with: "I found that bulbs survive winter by ___."

Talk together:

• Spring returns every year. What does that remind us of?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is it good news that Allah will raise us?
• What good deeds would you like to be raised with?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do a good deed I'd love to see on the Day I'm raised."

• Plant a bulb with your family.
• Look for signs of new life outside.
• Next time: the next ayah (80:23) says people haven't done what Allah asked. Explore it together!

Action: Do your good deed.
