Start with bismillah.

Line up some dominoes (or books) and push the first one. Ask: "Could the last one fall without the first?"

Watch Stephen Morris's short domino chain reaction video.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do people deny?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why do some people think there's no reward for deeds?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Infitar is surah 82. Find ayah 9. The key word ad-din here means the Day of reward and judgement, when every deed gets its result.

Fact: How can a tiny domino knock over a much bigger one?

Ages 5–8: Domino line. Build a line of dominoes or books and set it off. What happens if one is missing?

Ages 9–12: Growing dominoes. Find out how each domino can knock down one about one-and-a-half times bigger. How big could the twentieth one be?

Finish with: "I found that a small domino can knock down ___."

Talk together:

• One push leads to many falls. How do our choices lead to results?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why is it fair that there's a Day of reward?
• What good "chain reaction" could you start?
• What would you like to ask about the Day of reward?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will start a good chain: one kind act that leads to more."

• Start a kindness chain at home.
• Build a domino run with your family.
• Say "maliki yawm ad-din" slowly in your salah.
• Next time: the next ayah (82:10) tells us about guardians over us. Explore it together!

Action: Start a good chain: one kind act that leads to more.
