Opening the ayah…
وَٱللَّهُ يَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ دَارِ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ
Wa -llahu yad'ʻū 'ilā dāri ssalāmi wayah'dī man yashā'u 'ilā ṣirāṭin mmus'taqīmin
But Allah doth call to the Home of Peace: He doth guide whom He pleaseth to a way that is straight.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah invites everyone to the Home of Peace and guides whoever He wills to a straight path.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "If someone invited you to a place of total peace, would you go?"
Listen together as Syed Sleem recites ayat 21–30 of Yunus, a short clip shared by Islam official146.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is Allah inviting people to?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes Jannah the Home of Peace?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 25. Dar as-Salam, the Home of Peace, is a name for Jannah. There is no fear, sadness or fighting there. Allah invites everyone and guides people to the straight road that leads there.
Fact: Which of Allah's names is As-Salam. Find it in Al-Hashr 59:23.
Ages 5–8: Peace corner. Make a cosy, calm corner at home.
Ages 9–12: Peace makers. Write three ways to bring peace to your home.
Finish with: "As-Salam is in Surah Al-___ 59:23."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will help keep peace at home."
Action: Help keep peace at home.
