Opening the ayah…
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرٌۭ ۖ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ
Wa yaqūlu -lladhīna kafarū law'lā 'unzila ʻalay'hi 'āyatun mmin rrabbihī . 'innamā 'anta mundhirun . walikulli qaw'min hādin
And the Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The deniers ask why no miracle has come down to him, but the Prophet is a warner, and every people has had someone to guide them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who guides you when you are learning something new?"
Put on Ismail Hashim's Ar-Ra'd from MY Quran and follow along for a little while.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What has every people been given?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who were the guides sent to people long ago?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Ra'd is surah 13. Find ayah 7. The deniers kept asking for special miracles. Allah reminds them that the Prophet's job was to warn and guide, and that no people was ever left without a guide. Allah is fair to everyone.
Fact: Al-Fatir 35:24 says every nation had a warner. Read it with a grown-up.
Ages 5–8: My guides. Draw the people who guide you: parents, teachers, an imam.
Ages 9–12: Fair to all. Write why it shows Allah's fairness that every people had a guide.
Finish with: "Fatir 35:24 tells us that ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank one person who teaches me."
Action: Thank one person who teaches you.
