Opening the ayah…
وَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ مُّقَرَّنِينَ فِى ٱلْأَصْفَادِ
Wa tarāl-muj'rimīna yaw'ma'idhin mmuqarranīna fī l-'aṣ'fādi
And thou wilt see the sinners that day bound together in fetters;-
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On that Day you will see the guilty bound together in chains.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel to be free to choose?"
Listen together as Abdul Basit Abdus-Samad recites ayat 48–52 of Ibrahim, a short clip shared by sultaan videos.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How are the guilty described?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can my choices today keep me free?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ibrahim is surah 14. Find ayah 49. This ayah gives one short, serious picture. People who chose wrong all their lives will be held together. We are free today to choose good, and Allah loves those who turn to Him.
Fact: Track down an ayah about the believers' faces shining that Day (Al-Qiyamah 75:22).
Ages 5–8: Free choices. Talk about a good choice you made today.
Ages 9–12: Choices. Write how good habits are like keys that set us free.
Finish with: "I read Al-Qiyamah 75:22; it reminds me that ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make one good choice I usually find hard."
Action: Make one good choice you usually find hard.
