Start with bismillah.

Hold an egg very gently in your hand. Ask: "Why do we hold it so carefully?"

Watch the short video of swan chicks (cygnets) riding safely on a parent's back.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does this ayah tell us not to do?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be gentle with someone who is sad?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ad-Duha is surah 93. Find ayah 9. Read it with ayah 6. Allah sheltered the Prophet ﷺ when he was an orphan, and now He tells us how to treat orphans.

Fact: Why do cygnets ride on their parents' backs?

Ages 5–8: Gentle hands. Practise carrying something fragile (an egg, a full cup) across the room carefully.

Ages 9–12: Kind words. Write five kind things you could say to someone who has lost a parent or feels alone.

Finish with: "I found that cygnets ride on their parents' backs to ___."

Talk together:

• Why does Allah want us to be extra gentle with orphans?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• What does being "harsh" look like? What does gentle look like?
• How could you include a child who doesn't have a parent?
• Who is gentle with you when you're sad?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will be extra gentle with ___."

• With your family, give to a charity that cares for orphans.
• Tell someone what you learned about swans.
• Next time: the next ayah (93:10) is about the one who asks. Explore it together!

Action: Be gentle in your words and hands all week.
