Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What things always come back? A ball thrown up? The sun? A boomerang?"

Watch the BBC Earth Science video "Why Do Boomerangs Come Back?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did this person wrongly think?"

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

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Inshiqaq is surah 84. Find ayah 14. The key words lan yahur mean he would never return. He thought this life was all there is. But everyone returns to Allah.

Fact: What makes a boomerang curve round and come back?

Ages 5–8: Card boomerang. Cut a small boomerang from thin card. Flick it off the edge of a book. Does it come back?

Ages 9–12: Spin and lift. Find out how a boomerang's spinning wings create lift. Why must you throw it a special way?

Finish with: "I found that a boomerang comes back because ___."

Talk together:

• A boomerang always returns. What does Allah tell us about our return?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How would you live differently if you thought there was no return?
• Why is believing in the Hereafter good for us now?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz or ustazah about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember each night that I will return to Allah, and thank Him for the day."

• Show someone your card boomerang.
• Talk about the Hereafter with your family.
• Next time: the next ayah (84:15) says his Lord was always watching him. Explore it together!

Action: Say a thank-you to Allah each night.
