Opening the ayah…
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْفِى وَمَا نُعْلِنُ ۗ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۢ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ
Rabbanā 'innaka taʻ'lamu mā nukh'fī wamā nuʻ'linu . wamā yakh'fā ʻalā-llahi min shay''in fī l-'ar'ḍi walā fī ssamā'i
"O our Lord! truly Thou dost know what we conceal and what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from Allah, whether on earth or in heaven.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Ibrahim said that Allah knows what we hide and what we show, and nothing at all in the earth or the sky is hidden from Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is there anything you can hide from Allah?"
Mbah Vision has a short Ibrahim clip of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 35–41. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah know?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does knowing Allah sees everything help me do good?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ibrahim is surah 14. Find ayah 38. Allah knows our secret feelings and our open actions. Nothing anywhere is hidden from Him. That is a comfort when we feel unseen, and a reminder to do right even when nobody is looking.
Fact: Find the name Al-Khabir (the All-Aware) in another ayah, such as Al-Mulk 67:14.
Ages 5–8: Seen by Allah. Do a good deed when nobody is watching, knowing Allah sees.
Ages 9–12: Comfort. Write how knowing Allah sees your sadness can comfort you.
Finish with: "My ayah from Al-Mulk 67:14: ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell Allah about my worries in du'a."
Action: Tell Allah about your worries in du'a.
