Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever seen a dust storm, or been caught in a very dusty wind?"

Watch the Science Channel video "How Do Massive Dust Storms Form?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How will other faces look?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will some faces be dusty?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 40. The key word ghabarah means dust. Scholars explain it as a sign of sadness and regret on the faces of those who turned away.

Fact: How do dust storms (haboobs) form?

Ages 5–8: Two faces. Draw two faces: one shining (ayah 38) and one dusty (ayah 40). Which would you like?

Ages 9–12: Dust travel. Find out how dust from the Sahara can travel all the way across the ocean.

Finish with: "I found that dust storms form when ___."

Talk together:

• What's the difference between ayah 38 and ayah 40?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we choose the path of shining faces?
• Why does Allah show us both endings?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make wudu carefully and remember the shining faces."

• Make careful wudu before each prayer.
• Show someone your two faces drawing.
• Make dua for a shining face on that Day.
• Next time: the next ayah (80:41) is about darkness covering faces. Explore it together!

Action: Make wudu carefully and remember the shining faces.
