For grown-ups
- On the next rainy day, stand at the window together and say the rain du'a.
- Breathe on a cold window or mirror to see tiny water drops appear, just like the drops that join up to make clouds.
- Plant a few seeds in a cup, water them and watch them wake up and turn green, like step 4.
- Trace the steps with your finger, up, across and down, and say together: “Round and round it goes!”
- Print at 100% ("actual size") on thick paper, or laminate it for a busy wall. For a big classroom or masjid poster, use the 18 × 24 in PDF at a print shop.
