Start with bismillah.

A gentle note for parents: keep this calm. The message is that Allah is stronger than anyone; there's no need for scary details.

Blow gently on a feather, then wave a big book like a fan. Ask: "Which was stronger? What's the strongest wind you've ever felt?"

Watch the NASA video of a hurricane seen from the International Space Station. (You only need the first minute or two.)

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will Allah call?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What are angels like?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-'Alaq is surah 96. Find ayah 18. Read ayat 17 and 18 together. One side calls its friends; Allah calls His guards. Who is stronger?

Fact: How wide can a hurricane be?

Ages 5–8: Spin a storm. Stir water in a clear jar quickly and add a drop of food colouring. Watch the swirl, like a hurricane.

Ages 9–12: Measure power. Find out the wind speeds of a breeze, a gale and a hurricane. Make a scale from 1 to 5.

Finish with: "I found that a hurricane can be ___ wide."

Talk together:

• A hurricane is powerful, but who made it?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• Angels always obey Allah. What can we learn from them?
• Why does it make us feel safe that Allah is the strongest?
• What would you like to ask an ustaz or ustazah about angels?

Make a small plan: "This week, when I feel scared, I will remember Allah is the strongest and say ___."

• Show someone at home your storm-in-a-jar.
• Thank Allah for the angels who look after us by His command.
• Next time: the next ayah (96:19) ends the surah with prostration. Explore it together!

Action: Learn a short dua for feeling safe and say it at bedtime.
