Start with bismillah.

A gentle note for parents: this ayah mentions graves. Keep it short and calm, and talk about Allah bringing everyone back to life.

Ask: "Have you ever seen little piles of earth on a lawn? Who made them?"

Watch the New York Times ScienceTake video "How Hard Do Moles Dig?".

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will it be like when everyone is raised?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Infitar is surah 82. Find ayah 4. The key word bu'thirat means turned over, overturned. On that Day, Allah will bring everyone out to be raised again.

Fact: How much soil can a mole dig in one day?

Ages 5–8: Mole map. Draw a mole's tunnels under a garden. Show where the molehills appear on top.

Ages 9–12: Diggers. Find out how a mole's front paws are built for digging.

Finish with: "I found that a mole can dig ___ in a day."

Talk together:

• What does it mean to be raised again?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we prepare for that Day calmly?
• What good deeds would you like to be raised with?
• Who in our family has passed away that we can make dua for?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will pray for someone who has passed away, every night."

• Say your nightly dua for them.
• Show someone your mole map.
• Ask an older relative to tell you about someone they miss.
• Next time: the next ayah (82:5) says each soul will know what it did. Explore it together!

Action: Pray for someone who has passed away, every night.
