Opening the ayah…
أَلَآ إِنَّ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
'Alā 'inna 'aw'liyā'a -llahi lā khaw'fun ʻalay'him' walā hum' yaḥ'zanūna
Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve;
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The friends of Allah have no fear on them and will not be sad.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel to have a best friend?"
Muslim Ummah posted a short recitation of ayah 62 of Yunus. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the friends of Allah not feel?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who are Allah's friends?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 62. Allah's friends, the awliya', are given safety from fear and sadness in the Hereafter. The next ayah tells us who they are. Anyone can become one.
Fact: Al-Baqarah 2:257 says Allah is the protecting friend of those who believe.
Ages 5–8: Friend of Allah. Draw yourself doing something Allah loves.
Ages 9–12: No fear. Write what removes fear and sadness from the believers.
Finish with: "The friends of Allah are called the awliya' of ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one extra deed to grow closer to Allah."
Action: Do one extra deed to grow closer to Allah.
