Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would you need most if you had nothing at all?"

Watch the BBC World Service video about a tiny desert beetle that collects drops of water from fog to survive.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is the second person to feed?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do people with nothing survive?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Balad is surah 90. Find ayah 16. The key words miskinan dha matrabah mean a poor person in the dust, someone with nothing.

Fact: How does the Namib beetle collect water from fog?

Ages 5–8: Fog catcher. Put a cold can from the fridge on a plate. After a few minutes, where do the drops come from?

Ages 9–12: Every drop counts. Work out how much water your family uses in a day. Then find out how much a person in a desert village might have.

Finish with: "I found that the beetle collects water by ___."

Talk together:

• The beetle gathers every tiny drop. How can we gather small amounts to help people with nothing?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Why should we never look down on someone who is poor?
• How does it feel to give to someone who really needs it?
• What could you give up so someone else has more?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will save ___ to give to someone in need."

• Smile and greet people kindly, whoever they are.
• Show someone your fog-catcher can.
• Next time: the next ayah (90:17) describes the people who climb the steep path. Explore it together!

Action: Save a little each day this week for charity.
