Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What's the fairest way to share a pizza between four people?"

Watch the BBC Earth video of a cuckoo chick that takes over another bird's nest. (It pushes out the other eggs; watch it first.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are people doing with inheritance?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it wrong to take what belongs to others?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Fajr is surah 89. Find ayah 19. The key word at-turath means inheritance, what's left for family members when someone dies. Allah wants it shared fairly.

Fact: How does a cuckoo chick trick other birds into feeding it?

Ages 5–8: Fair shares. Share out a handful of raisins fairly between everyone at home. How did you make it fair?

Ages 9–12: Fairness rules. Write three rules for sharing fairly in a family. Why does Allah care so much about fairness?

Finish with: "I found that the cuckoo chick gets food by ___."

Talk together:

• Why is it wrong to grab more than your share?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• The cuckoo chick doesn't know better. But we do. Why does that matter?
• How do you feel when someone takes what's yours?
• How can you be extra fair this week?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will share ___ fairly with ___."

• Give back anything you borrowed.
• Show someone your fairness rules.
• Next time: the next ayah (89:20) is about loving wealth too much. Explore it together!

Action: Practise fair sharing at every snack time.
