Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
'Inna -llaha lā yaẓ'limu nnāssa shay''an walākinna nnāssa 'anfussahum' yaẓ'limūna
Verily Allah will not deal unjustly with man in aught: It is man that wrongs his own soul.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah never treats people unfairly at all; it is people who wrong themselves.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "When we break something, whose fault is it?"
Hoor Academy has a short Yunus clip of Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary reciting ayat 43–53. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who do people wrong?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How do people wrong themselves?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 44. Allah is perfectly just. He gives guidance, signs and time. When people ignore these and do wrong, they harm themselves, not Allah.
Fact: The Name of Allah al-'Adl and what it means.
Ages 5–8: Fair or not. Share examples of fair and unfair actions.
Ages 9–12: Self-harm. Write how bad habits hurt the person who does them.
Finish with: "Al-'Adl means the ___ One."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will change one habit that does me no good."
Action: Change one habit that does you no good.
