Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Have you ever felt lonely or left out? What made it better?"

Watch the BBC Earth video of an orangutan mother teaching her daughter how to live in the rainforest.

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

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Is Allah with me even when I feel alone?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Duha is surah 93. Find ayah 3. This ayah came to comfort the Prophet ﷺ. Ask your teacher to tell you why.

Fact: How many years does a baby orangutan stay with its mother?

Ages 5–8: Comfort box. Make a small box of things that cheer you up: a drawing, a favourite dua card, a smooth stone.

Ages 9–12: Care chart. Find out how long the babies of five animals stay with their mothers. Which stays longest?

Finish with: "I found that young orangutans stay with their mothers for about ___ years."

Talk together:

• How does it feel to know Allah never leaves you?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• When you feel alone, what can you say to Allah?
• Who can you be with when they feel lonely?
• Why do you think Allah comforted His Prophet ﷺ?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will sit with or talk to ___ who might feel alone."

• Include someone who's on their own at school or the mosque.
• Show your comfort box to someone at home.
• Next time: the next ayah (93:4) says what comes later is better. Explore it together!

Action: Make dua whenever you feel lonely: Allah always hears.
