Start with bismillah.

Draw a road that splits into two. Ask: "If one led somewhere wonderful and one somewhere bad, how would you choose?"

Watch the video about how rivers split into many channels as they form a delta.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah show every person?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do I know which way is the good way?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Balad is surah 90. Find ayah 10. The key word najdayn means two clear, high roads. Many scholars explain them as the way of good and the way of bad.

Fact: Why does a river split into many branches when it reaches the sea?

Ages 5–8: Choice cards. Make two cards: a green one for a good choice and a red one for a bad one. Read some made-up situations and hold up a card.

Ages 9–12: Delta model. In a tray of sand on a slope, pour water slowly at the top. Watch it split into channels at the bottom. Draw what you see.

Finish with: "I found that a delta forms when ___."

Talk together:

• Allah showed us both paths clearly. Why is that a mercy?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What helps you choose the good way?
• What do you do if you take the wrong path?
• Who can help you decide when you're not sure?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I have a choice to make, I will stop and ask: which way does Allah love?"

• When you make a good choice, thank Allah for helping.
• Show someone your sand delta.
• Next time: the next ayah (90:11) talks about a steep path. Explore it together!

Action: Use your green and red cards with your family.
