Opening the ayah…
لَهُمُ ٱلْبُشْرَىٰ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۚ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Lahumu l-bush'rā fī l-ḥayāti ddun'yā wafī l-'ākhirati . lā tab'dīla likalimāti -llahi . dhālika huwa l-faw'zu l-ʻaẓīmu
For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah's friends receive good news in this life and the Hereafter, His words never change, and that is the great success.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the happiest news you have ever received?"
Play the short Yunus clip of ayah 64 from Muslim Ummah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When do they receive good news?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What good news can believers get in this life?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 64. Allah's friends get good news now, like peace in their hearts, and in the Hereafter, Jannah. Allah's promises never change. This is the real, great success.
Fact: In Fussilat 41:30–31, angels give the believers good news and say they are their friends.
Ages 5–8: Good news board. Write good news from your week on paper hearts.
Ages 9–12: Great success. Write how the Qur'an describes true success.
Finish with: "Allah's words never ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share good news with my family."
Action: Share good news with your family.
