Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What makes a place feel like home? Is it the building or the people?"

Watch the short video about white storks that fly thousands of kilometres and still find their own nest again.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who lived in this city?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does a stork know which nest is its home?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Balad is surah 90. Find ayah 2. The key word hillun has more than one meaning. Ask your teacher how scholars explain it.

Fact: How far do white storks fly each year before coming home?

Ages 5–8: Home map. Draw your home and label your favourite spot. Why is it your favourite?

Ages 9–12: Migration route. Draw the path a white stork flies from Europe to Africa and back. Measure it with the map's scale.

Finish with: "I found that white storks fly about ___ km."

Talk together:

• What do you love most about your home?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How can we make our home a place where Allah is remembered?
• How can we welcome people who are far from their homes?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz or ustazah about the Prophet's ﷺ life in Makkah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will make our home nicer by ___."

• Do one thing to make home tidy and welcoming.
• Show someone your stork migration map.
• Next time: the next ayah (90:3) is about parents and children. Explore it together!

Action: Say a dua when you leave home and when you come back.
