Start with bismillah.

Try to push a heavy piece of furniture (with an adult). Ask: "Why doesn't it move? What would it take to move a mountain?"

Watch the National Geographic video about scientists mapping Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. (Climbers appear.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does this ayah ask us to look at?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How are mountains held so firmly?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ghashiyah is surah 88. Find ayah 19. The key word nusibat means set up firmly, fixed in place.

Fact: How tall is Mount Everest, and is it still growing?

Ages 5–8: Mountain model. Make a mountain from play dough. Push it from the side. Does it slide or stay?

Ages 9–12: Mountain roots. Find out what scientists mean when they say mountains have "roots" deep underground. Draw a diagram.

Finish with: "I found that Mount Everest is about ___ m tall."

Talk together:

• Why do you think Allah asks us to look at mountains?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What can we learn from how firm mountains are?
• How can we be firm in doing good, like a mountain?
• Have you ever stood on a mountain or a hill? How did it feel?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will stand firm about ___ even when others don't."

• Show someone your play dough mountain.
• Say "Allahu akbar" when you see a hill or mountain.
• Next time: the next ayah (88:20) asks us to look at the earth spread out. Explore it together!

Action: Stay firm in one good habit all week.
