Opening the ayah…
وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ
Wa lā takūnanna mina -lladhīna kadhdhabū bi'āyāti -llahi fatakūna mina l-khāssirīna
Nor be of those who reject the signs of Allah, or thou shalt be of those who perish.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Do not be among those who deny Allah's signs, or you will be among the losers.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who is the real loser: someone who loses a game or someone who loses their faith?"
A short clip on Nature and Quran recites ayat 94–109 of Yunus. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who are the losers?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes someone a real loser?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 95. Denying Allah's signs is the biggest loss of all. This ayah reminds us to treasure our faith and to accept Allah's signs with gratitude.
Fact: Find Al-'Asr 103 and what it says about those who are not losers.
Ages 5–8: Al-'Asr. Recite Surah Al-'Asr together.
Ages 9–12: Not losers. Write the four things in Al-'Asr that save people from loss.
Finish with: "Al-'Asr names ___ things that save from loss."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn Surah Al-'Asr and its meaning."
Action: Learn Surah Al-'Asr and its meaning.
