Start with bismillah.

Mix some rice and dried beans in a bowl. Ask: "How could we quickly separate them?"

Watch Mrs. Bright's video about ways to separate mixtures.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah say the Quran is?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does the Quran help me sort out right from wrong?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tariq is surah 86. Find ayah 13. The key words qawlun fasl mean a word that decides and separates: it makes the truth clear and separate from what is false.

Fact: What tools do people use to separate mixtures (sieves, magnets, filters)?

Ages 5–8: Sieve sort. Use a sieve or colander to separate beans from flour or sand. What passes through?

Ages 9–12: Separation lab. Separate a mix of sand, salt and iron filings (or paper clips) using a magnet, water and a filter. Write each step.

Finish with: "I found that a sieve separates by ___."

Talk together:

• How is the Quran like a sieve for our choices?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What's one choice the Quran made clearer for you?
• Why do we need something that separates right from wrong?
• How can we use the Quran when we're unsure?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I have a hard choice, I will ask: what would please Allah?"

• Show someone your sieve sorting.
• Read a short surah with its meaning.
• Next time: the next ayah (86:14) says the Quran is serious. Explore it together!

Action: Ask the "what pleases Allah" question at least once.
