Opening the ayah…
وَلَنُسْكِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامِى وَخَافَ وَعِيدِ
Wa lanus'kinannakumu l-'ar'ḍa min[m] baʻ'dihim' . dhālika liman' khāfa maqāmī wakhāfa waʻīdi
"And verily We shall cause you to abide in the land, and succeed them. This for such as fear the Time when they shall stand before My tribunal,- such as fear the punishment denounced."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah promised to settle the believers in the land after the wrongdoers, a reward for those who stand in awe of Him and His warning.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel when a promise comes true?"
Play the short clip from Najmus Saqib of Bandar Baleela reciting ayat 13–30 of Ibrahim.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Allah promise the believers?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean to be in awe of standing before Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ibrahim is surah 14. Find ayah 14. The believers were promised a home in the land. This is for people who remember that one day they will stand before Allah, and so they live well.
Fact: Track down an ayah where Allah promises the righteous will inherit the earth (Al-Anbiya 21:105).
Ages 5–8: Promise kept. Talk about a promise someone kept for you.
Ages 9–12: Awe of Allah. Write how remembering Allah changes the way we act.
Finish with: "I read Al-Anbiya 21:105; it reminds me that ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep one promise I make."
Action: Keep one promise you make.
