Start with bismillah.

Show a picture of a wasp and a hoverfly. Ask: "Which one stings?"

Watch the FreeSchool video about hoverflies and mimicry.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the Quran not?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can we tell what's true?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Takwir is surah 81. Find ayah 25. The key words shaytanin rajim mean an accursed devil. Some people claimed the Prophet ﷺ got his words from a devil. Allah answers: the Quran is from Allah, brought by a noble angel.

Fact: How can you tell a harmless hoverfly from a wasp?

Ages 5–8: Spot the difference. Draw a wasp and a hoverfly side by side. Circle three differences.

Ages 9–12: Copycats. Find three animals that copy other animals to stay safe.

Finish with: "I found that a hoverfly is different from a wasp because ___."

Talk together:

• A hoverfly looks scary but isn't. How can we check what's really true?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why would the Quran tell people to do good if it came from a devil?
• How does saying a'udhu billah protect us?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say a'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim before reciting."

• Say the ta'awwudh before reciting Quran.
• Show someone your wasp and hoverfly drawing.
• Look for hoverflies on flowers (they don't sting).
• Next time: the next ayah (81:26) asks where we are going. Explore it together!

Action: Say a'udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim before reciting.
