Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
'Inna -lladhīna ḥaqqat' ʻalay'him' kalimatu rabbika lā yu''minūna
Those against whom the word of thy Lord hath been verified would not believe-
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Those about whom Allah's word has come true will not believe.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you make someone believe if they have decided not to?"
Play the short Yunus clip of ayat 94–109 from The Great Beauty.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will not believe?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does 'the word has come true' mean?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Yunus is surah 10. Find ayah 96. Some people keep rejecting so firmly that Allah's word about them comes true: they will not believe. Allah knows everything and is never unjust; people chose their path. Our job is to keep our own hearts open.
Fact: Find Al-Baqarah 2:6–7 about those who will not believe.
Ages 5–8: Open hands. Open your hands in dua and ask Allah to keep your heart open.
Ages 9–12: Our part. Write what we can do and what is in Allah's hands.
Finish with: "We choose, and Allah ___ everything."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah to keep my heart on guidance."
Action: Ask Allah to keep your heart on guidance.
