Start with bismillah.

Put a celery stalk in coloured water. Ask: "We gave it water. Who makes the water climb up?"

Watch the SciShow Kids video "The Color-Changing Celery Experiment!".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whose job is it if someone doesn't grow in goodness?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If I remind someone and they don't listen, is it my fault?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah 'Abasa is surah 80. Find ayah 7. The key words wa ma 'alayka mean "it is not upon you". Our job is to share the message kindly; guiding hearts is Allah's.

Fact: How does water travel up a plant's stem?

Ages 5–8: Colour celery. Put celery in coloured water overnight. Cut it the next day. What do you see?

Ages 9–12: Tiny tubes. Find out about xylem, the tiny tubes inside a plant.

Finish with: "I found that water travels up a plant through ___."

Talk together:

• We water the plant, but who makes it grow?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does this ayah help when someone doesn't listen to good advice?
• What is our part, and what is Allah's part?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do my part kindly and leave the result to Allah."

• Do your part and trust Allah with the rest.
• Show someone your coloured celery.
• Make dua for someone you care about.
• Next time: the next ayah (80:8) is about the one who came rushing to learn. Explore it together!

Action: Do your part kindly and leave the result to Allah.
