Start with bismillah.

Ask: "How do you think a baby turtle, just out of its egg, knows where the sea is?"

Watch the WildInside video of baby sea turtles finding their way to the sea. (It has music. Watch the first few minutes.)

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who taught the turtle the way?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'la is surah 87. Find ayah 3. The key words qaddara fa-hada mean He measured out, then guided. Allah gave every creature what it needs and showed it the way.

Fact: What signs do baby turtles use to find the sea in the dark?

Ages 5–8: Turtle dash. Lay out a "beach" with a light at the "sea" end. Crawl like a turtle towards the light.

Ages 9–12: Born knowing. Find three animals that know what to do without being taught (turtles, spiders spinning webs, birds migrating). Write how each is guided.

Finish with: "I found that baby turtles find the sea by ___."

Talk together:

• Allah guided the turtle to the sea. How has Allah guided you?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What is the Quran's guidance like a light for?
• What happens when bright lights confuse the turtles? What confuses people?
• Why is it good to ask Allah for guidance every day?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah to guide me before I make choices."

• Ask Allah for guidance each morning.
• Show someone your turtle dash game.
• Tell someone how lights on beaches can confuse baby turtles.
• Next time: the next ayah (87:4) is about green pasture. Explore it together!

Action: Ask Allah to guide you before you make choices.
