Start with bismillah.

Wrap a soft toy in a blanket. Ask: "What does a baby need to feel safe?"

Watch the video of a sea otter mother keeping her pup safe. (The film crew talk about filming them, too.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah give the Prophet ﷺ when he was an orphan?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who looks after children who have no parents?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Duha is surah 93. Find ayah 6. The key word yatim means an orphan. The Prophet ﷺ grew up without his father and lost his mother when he was young. Ask your teacher who looked after him.

Fact: How does a sea otter mother keep her pup safe and warm?

Ages 5–8: Safe nest. Make a "nest" for a toy using things from home. What makes it cosy and safe?

Ages 9–12: Animal shelters. Find out three ways animal parents shelter their young (pouches, nests, burrows). Draw one.

Finish with: "I found that a sea otter keeps her pup safe by ___."

Talk together:

• Allah sheltered the Prophet ﷺ when he was an orphan. How does Allah shelter us?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Who gives you a safe home? How can you thank them?
• How can we help children who don't have parents?
• What does it mean to feel safe?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank ___ for keeping me safe."

• Find out with your family about a way to help orphans, and do one thing.
• Show someone your toy's safe nest.
• Next time: the next ayah (93:7) is about being guided when lost. Explore it together!

Action: Say thank you to the people who give you a home.
