Opening the ayah…
كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
Kamā 'anzalnā ʻalāl-muq'tassimīna
(Of just such wrath) as We sent down on those who divided (Scripture into arbitrary parts),-
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Like what was sent down on those who split things up,
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is it fair to take only the parts you like?"
Begin a reciter's Al-Hijr on seif ben abdessalem and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did those people do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is splitting the message wrong?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hijr is surah 15. Find ayah 90. Some people split their scripture, taking some parts and leaving others. A calm warning: Allah's guidance is taken whole.
Fact: Find the ayah about believing in part of the Book and rejecting part (Al-Baqarah 2:85).
Ages 5–8: Whole puzzle. Try a puzzle with missing pieces.
Ages 9–12: Whole message. Write why we follow the whole Quran.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will work on one part of Islam I find hard."
Action: Work on one part of Islam you find hard.
