Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What's the fastest thing in the universe?"

Watch the Dr. Binocs video about light.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How is the messenger described?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How strong are the angels?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Takwir is surah 81. Find ayah 20. The key words dhi quwwah mean full of strength. Scholars explain that Jibril has great power and a high place with Allah. (We don't draw or picture angels.)

Fact: How fast does light travel?

Ages 5–8: Light race. Shine a torch at a wall. Did you see the light travel, or was it instant?

Ages 9–12: Light time. Find out how long light takes to reach us from the Moon and from the Sun.

Finish with: "I found that light travels at about ___ kilometres a second."

Talk together:

• Allah created angels with great strength. What does that tell us about Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why did Allah choose a strong, trusted messenger for the Quran?
• How can we be strong in doing good?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz about the angels?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be strong and keep going with one good habit."

• Keep up one good habit all week.
• Show someone the torch trick.
• Learn the names of four angels mentioned by scholars.
• Next time: the next ayah (81:21) says the messenger is obeyed and trustworthy. Explore it together!

Action: Be strong and keep going with one good habit.
