Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever seen moths flying round and round a lamp at night?"

Watch National Geographic's video "Why Moths are Obsessed with Lamps".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question does Allah ask?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Where am I going in my life?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Takwir is surah 81. Find ayah 26. The key words fa-ayna tadh-habun mean "so where are you going?" After all the signs in this surah, Allah asks people which way they are heading.

Fact: Why do moths get confused by lamps at night?

Ages 5–8: Map your path. Draw a path from where you are now to where you'd like to be when you grow up. Add good deeds along the way.

Ages 9–12: Lost moths. Find out how scientists think moths use the Moon to fly straight.

Finish with: "I found that moths circle lamps because ___."

Talk together:

• Moths get lost by following the wrong light. What can lead people the wrong way?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What is the "right light" for us?
• Where do you want your life to lead?
• How can we help someone who seems lost?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah every morning to guide me on the straight path."

• Make the dua for guidance each morning.
• Show someone your life path drawing.
• Turn off outdoor lights to help moths at night.
• Next time: the next ayah (81:27) says the Quran is a reminder for all the worlds. Explore it together!

Action: Ask Allah every morning to guide you on the straight path.
