Start with bismillah.

Blow on a dandelion clock (or a picture of one). Ask: "Where did all the seeds go?"

Watch the New York Times ScienceTake video about how dandelion seeds fly.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who holds the stars in place now?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Infitar is surah 82. Find ayah 2. The key word intatharat means scattered. The stars that look so fixed and orderly will scatter on that Day, by Allah's command.

Fact: How far can a dandelion seed travel on the wind?

Ages 5–8: Seed flight. Drop a dandelion seed and a small pebble from the same height. Which falls slower? Why?

Ages 9–12: Order in the sky. Find out what keeps stars in their places in a galaxy now.

Finish with: "I found that a dandelion seed can travel ___."

Talk together:

• Stars look like they'll stay forever. What does this ayah teach us?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who keeps everything in order right now?
• What in your life feels fixed but might change one day?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah each night for keeping the world in order."

• Say a thank-you to Allah at bedtime.
• Show someone your seed-and-pebble test.
• Look for dandelion clocks outside.
• Next time: the next ayah (82:3) is about the seas bursting out. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah each night for keeping the world in order.
