Start with bismillah.

Put a fig (fresh or dried) and an olive (or a little olive oil) on a plate. Smell them. Taste them if you like. Ask: "Of all the fruits in the world, why might Allah mention these two?"

Watch the video about figs and the tiny wasps that help them. Did you know a fruit and an insect could need each other like that?

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do you notice about how this surah begins?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do the fig and the wasp know how to help each other?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tin is surah 95, and its name means "the fig". Find ayah 1.

Fact: In which countries do fig and olive trees grow best, and how long can an olive tree live?

Ages 5–8: A grown-up cuts a fig in half. Look inside with a magnifying glass. Draw what you see. What do the tiny bits inside look like?

Ages 9–12: Make a comparison table for the fig and the olive: taste, what is inside, the seeds, and all the ways people use each one (food, oil, soap, lamps…). Which list is longer?

Finish with: "I found that the fig ___ and the olive ___."

Talk together:

• Who designed the fig and the wasp so they help each other?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How many different ways do people use olives? What does that tell us about this gift?
• Which fruit are you most thankful for? Why?
• Why do you think Allah swears by things we can see, taste and touch?

Make a small plan: "This week, at ___, I will thank Allah for one fruit and share it with ___."

• Practise your plan: share a fruit and say why you are thankful for it.
• Tell someone at home the story of the fig and the wasp in your own words.
• Host a mini fruit-tasting for the family and teach one fact you found.
• Next time: the next two ayat (95:2–3) mention a mountain and a safe city. Explore them together!

Action: Share a fruit and say why you are thankful for it.
