Start with bismillah.

Ask: "If you did something really good, who would you want to see it?"

Watch the SciShow Kids video "Telescopes in Space!".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who witnesses the record of the righteous?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who are the ones brought near?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mutaffifin is surah 83. Find ayah 21. The key word al-muqarrabun means those brought near. Many scholars explain that these are angels close to Allah, who witness the good records with honour.

Fact: What can a space telescope see that a telescope on the ground can't?

Ages 5–8: Paper telescope. Roll up a sheet of paper and look through it at the sky or a picture. What can you see more clearly?

Ages 9–12: Webb's view. Find out what the James Webb Space Telescope has photographed. Pick your favourite picture and describe it.

Finish with: "I found that space telescopes can see ___."

Talk together:

• How does it feel to know your good deeds are witnessed with honour?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who would you like to be near on that Day?
• How can we get "near" to Allah now?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz or ustazah about al-muqarrabun?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one extra prayer or dhikr to feel near to Allah."

• Do one extra dhikr or prayer each day.
• Show someone your paper telescope.
• Look at a space telescope picture together and say subhanAllah.
• Next time: the next ayah (83:22) says the righteous will be in delight. Explore it together!

Action: Do one extra prayer or dhikr to feel near to Allah.
