Start with bismillah.

Ask: "The stars are always there. So why can't we see them in the daytime?"

Watch Smartie the Alpaca's video "Where Do Stars Go During the Day?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do these stars do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Where do the stars go?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Takwir is surah 81. Find ayah 16. The key words al-jawar al-kunnas mean those that run and then hide. They travel their paths and then disappear from view, by Allah's design.

Fact: Why does sunlight hide the stars in the daytime?

Ages 5–8: Torch and stars. Stick glow-in-the-dark stars on a wall. Look with the lights on, then off. When can you see them?

Ages 9–12: Star trails. Find out how photographers make star-trail pictures, and why the stars seem to circle.

Finish with: "I found that we can't see stars in the day because ___."

Talk together:

• The stars are there even when we can't see them. What else is real but unseen?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does the sky follow Allah's order every night?
• What helps you remember Allah when you can't "see" the reward yet?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do a good deed that no one sees, just for Allah."

• Do an unseen good deed.
• Show someone the glow-star trick.
• Watch the stars come out at dusk together.
• Next time: the next ayah (81:17) is an oath by the night as it leaves. Explore it together!

Action: Do a good deed that no one sees, just for Allah.
