Start with bismillah.

Show a dried-up leaf or a dry sponge. Ask: "Could this ever come back to life?"

Watch the short time-lapse of a resurrection plant opening up in water. (It has music.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is Allah able to do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If Allah made me once, how will He make me again?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tariq is surah 86. Find ayah 8. The key words 'ala raj'ihi la-qadir mean "able to return him". The One who made us the first time can easily bring us back.

Fact: How can the resurrection plant survive for years without water?

Ages 5–8: Wake the seeds. Soak some dry beans overnight. How have they changed by morning?

Ages 9–12: Dry and alive. Find two living things that can survive drying out (the resurrection plant, tardigrades, some seeds). How do they do it?

Finish with: "I found that the resurrection plant ___."

Talk together:

• If making something the first time is hard, is making it again harder or easier?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does believing we'll be brought back change how we live now?
• What good deeds would you like to be brought back with?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz or ustazah about the life after this one?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed I'd love to see again on that Day."

• Show someone your soaked beans.
• Tell someone about the resurrection plant.
• Next time: the next ayah (86:9) is about the Day when secrets are tested. Explore it together!

Action: Do your good deed.
