Start with bismillah.

Put a grain of rice next to a football. Ask: "If the rice is the Earth, how big would the sun be?"

Watch the European Southern Observatory video comparing the sizes of stars.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does this ayah tell us about Allah?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Is there anything bigger than Allah's power?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shams is surah 91. Find ayah 15, the last one. The key word 'uqbaha means its outcome, what comes after. People worry about consequences; Allah does not need to, because He is in charge of everything.

Fact: How many Earths could fit inside the sun?

Ages 5–8: Size line. Line up a pea (Earth), a grapefruit (the sun) and a beach ball (a giant star). Which is biggest?

Ages 9–12: Star maths. If the sun is 109 times wider than Earth, and the biggest stars are about 1,500 times wider than the sun, how many Earths wide is a giant star?

Finish with: "I found that about ___ Earths could fit inside the sun."

Talk together:

• Why don't we ever need to worry about Allah being unfair?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does knowing Allah is in charge make you feel safe?
• What have you learned from the whole of Surah Ash-Shams?
• Which oath in this surah amazed you most?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I feel worried, I will remember Allah is in charge and say ___."

• Teach someone the size line with a pea and a ball.
• Recite Surah Ash-Shams with someone at home.
• Next time: the next surah, Al-Layl, begins with ayah 92:1 about the night. Explore it together!

Action: Say "hasbunallah" (Allah is enough for us) when you feel worried.
