Start with bismillah.

Ask: "What would you need most if you lived in a hot, dry place for months?"

Watch the Peace Parks video about the baobab, a tree that stores water in its huge trunk for the dry season.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah change for the Prophet ﷺ?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who makes sure every living thing has what it needs?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Duha is surah 93. Find ayah 8. The key word 'a'ilan means someone in need, and aghna means made rich, with enough and more.

Fact: How much water can a big baobab store in its trunk?

Ages 5–8: Sponge tree. Soak a sponge in water, then leave it in the sun. Squeeze it after an hour. Is there still water inside?

Ages 9–12: Water savers. Find three plants or animals that store water (baobab, cactus, camel). How does each one do it?

Finish with: "I found that a baobab stores water ___."

Talk together:

• Allah gives the baobab what it needs for the dry times. What has He given you?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does it mean to be "rich" in Allah's eyes?
• How can we help someone who is in need?
• Why should we never look down on someone who has less?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will help someone in need by ___."

• Show someone your sponge-tree experiment.
• Thank Allah for one thing you have that others might not.
• Next time: the next ayah (93:9) tells us how to treat orphans. Explore it together!

Action: Keep your helping plan.
