Start with bismillah.

Ask: "When you go out for the day, how do you always find your way home?"

Watch the Mission Unstoppable video about how baby sea turtles find their way back to the beach where they hatched.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "To whom does everyone return?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can a turtle remember a beach for years?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-'Alaq is surah 96. Find ayah 8. The key word ar-ruj'a means "the return". Can you find another ayah you know that talks about returning to Allah?

Fact: How many years can a sea turtle travel before it comes back to its home beach?

Ages 5–8: Home map. Draw the way from your front door to your favourite place, and the way back home.

Ages 9–12: Turtle journey. On a world map, trace the route a loggerhead turtle might swim around an ocean and back. Measure it with the map's scale.

Finish with: "I found that sea turtles find home by ___."

Talk together:

• What does it mean that we all return to Allah?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does a turtle know which way to go? Who taught it?
• What would you like to bring with you when you return to Allah?
• How can we get ready, a little each day?

Make a small plan: "Every day this week, I will do one good deed and say: this is for You, Allah."

• Do your daily good deed and keep a tally.
• Tell someone at home the turtle's amazing journey.
• Say "inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un" with understanding when you hear it.
• Next time: the next ayah (96:9) asks us to look at someone who tried to stop prayer. Explore it together!

Action: Do one good deed and say: this is for You, Allah.
