Opening the ayah…
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ طُوبَىٰ لَهُمْ وَحُسْنُ مَـَٔابٍۢ
Alladhīna 'āmanū waʻamilū ṣṣāliḥāti ṭūbā lahum' waḥus'nu ma'ābin
"For those who believe and work righteousness, is (every) blessedness, and a beautiful place of (final) return."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Those who believe and do good have happiness and a beautiful place to return to.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it feel like to come home after a long day?"
Play the short clip from Learning TV of Idrees Abkar reciting ayat 26–29 of Ar-Ra'd.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things do believers who do good receive?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What makes a heart truly happy?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Ra'd is surah 13. Find ayah 29. Believing and doing good brings joy now, and at the end a beautiful home to return to. The word 'tuba' in this ayah means great happiness and goodness.
Fact: Notice how often the Quran puts 'believe' and 'do good deeds' together. Find two more places, such as Al-'Asr 103:3.
Ages 5–8: Joy list. Draw three good deeds that make you feel happy.
Ages 9–12: Belief and action. Write why faith and good deeds go together.
Finish with: "Al-'Asr 103:3 also joins ___ and ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed that makes someone smile."
Action: Do one good deed that makes someone smile.
