Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you noticed how plants on a windowsill lean towards the light?"

Watch the Science News video showing young sunflowers following the sun.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things does the successful person do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How is salah like turning to the light?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'la is surah 87. Find ayah 15. The key words dhakara-sma rabbihi fa-salla mean he remembered his Lord's name and prayed. Remembering Allah leads to prayer, and prayer leads to more remembering.

Fact: Why do young sunflowers turn to follow the sun, and why do older ones stop?

Ages 5–8: Window plant. Put a small plant on a sunny windowsill. Mark which way it leans. Turn it round and check again in a few days.

Ages 9–12: Sun-tracking. Find out how young sunflowers grow faster on one side to follow the sun. Draw it.

Finish with: "I found that young sunflowers follow the sun because ___."

Talk together:

• A sunflower turns to the sun every day. What do we turn to five times a day?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What dhikr do you know by heart?
• How does remembering Allah help you pray better?
• When is it hardest for you to remember to pray?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will say a short dhikr after every salah."

• Say your dhikr after each salah.
• Show someone your window plant.
• Pray one salah together with your family.
• Next time: the next ayah (87:16) is about what people prefer. Explore it together!

Action: Say a short dhikr after every salah.
