Opening the ayah…
قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا۟ هُوَ خَيْرٌۭ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ
Qul' bifaḍ'li -llahi wabiraḥ'matihī fabidhālika fal'yaf'raḥū huwa khay'run mmimmā yaj'maʻūna
Say: "In the bounty of Allah. And in His Mercy,- in that let them rejoice": that is better than the (wealth) they hoard.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Tell people to rejoice in Allah's bounty and mercy, because that is better than all the wealth they collect.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes you really happy?"
Play the short Yunus clip of ayat 57–58 from IQF Official.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should people be happy about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is Allah's mercy better than money?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 58. Allah tells us to rejoice in His favour and mercy, especially the gift of the Qur'an and faith. Money is gathered and left behind, but His mercy lasts.
Fact: Al-Hujurat 49:7 says Allah made faith beloved to the believers and beautified it in their hearts.
Ages 5–8: Happy list. Draw things from Allah that make you happy.
Ages 9–12: Better than wealth. Write why faith is better than riches.
Finish with: "Allah made ___ beloved to the believers."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say alhamdulillah for my faith every day."
Action: Say alhamdulillah for your faith every day.
