Start with bismillah.

Look at a baby photo of yourself. Ask: "How small were you then? How small were you before that?"

Watch the National Science Foundation video "What are Cells?".

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah ask us to think about?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What was I made from?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tariq is surah 86. Find ayah 5. The key words fal-yanzur mean "so let him look", think carefully. Allah wants us to reflect, not just to know.

Fact: How many cells is a human body made of?

Ages 5–8: Growing chart. Make a chart of your height each year from photos or records. How much did you grow?

Ages 9–12: Onion cells. With an adult, peel the thin skin from inside an onion layer and look at it under a magnifier or microscope. Draw the cells you see.

Finish with: "I found that my body is made of about ___ cells."

Talk together:

• Why does Allah ask us to think about where we came from?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• If we all started so small, how should we treat each other?
• How can remembering this keep us humble?
• What would you like to ask a parent or an ustaz about how Allah creates people?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for one part of my body every day."

• Do your thank-you each day.
• Show someone your growing chart or cell drawing.
• Ask an older relative what you were like as a baby.
• Next time: the next ayah (86:6) continues the story of how we were made. Explore it together!

Action: Thank Allah for one part of your body every day.
