Signs for people who think!

One big question per episode

Week 6The season challenge
Find the hidden letters
In every episode, one golden Arabic letter hides on screen for a few seconds. Spot all six and they spell a secret word!
Watch an episode with a grown-up. Keep your eyes open!
Tap that episode’s slot, then tap the letter you spotted.
Collect all six to unlock the secret word and your certificate.
The Letter Hunt opens soon
A grown-up creates a free family account, and each child gets their own profile and PIN. Then you can add the letters you find.
Nahla’s workshop
Try it at home!
Every episode ends with something to make or test. Grab a grown-up and get building.

Meet the crew
Three friends, lots of questions
Inspired by the ant, the hoopoe and the bee of the Quran, in Surah an-Naml and Surah an-Nahl.
Namla
The careful thinker
“Wait… how do we know?”
Small, but she asks big questions. Namla works things out step by step, and always says when she doesn’t know.
Hudhud
The bold explorer
“Easy!”
Hudhud flies far, sees a lot and always has news. Sometimes he guesses. Namla helps him check.
Nahla
The maker
“Let’s try it!”
Nahla builds, tests and tinkers. If there’s an experiment to do at home, she’s already buzzing to start.
How we explore
Everything gets a label
So you always know what kind of idea you’re hearing. Look for the label in the top corner of every episode.
Science has checked it, many times.
Light is the fastest thing we know.
Real scientists think it might be true, but it isn’t proven yet.
Oceans hidden under the ice of Europa.
What the Quran or hadith says, with where to find it.
“We made from water every living thing.” (21:30)
Just us, wondering out loud. You decide what you think.
Maybe the ark carried the DNA of each kind.
For grown-ups
Best watched together
AyatVerse is made for curious kids around 8 to 12, and the grown-ups who watch with them.
Every fact has a source
Each episode’s credits list where every fact comes from: research papers, Quran references and hadith collections.
Family accounts
A grown-up creates the account and the child plays inside it. Kids never need their own email.
For classrooms
Teaching guides with discussion questions and activity sheets for every episode, for schools and weekend classes.
