Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
'Inna -lladhīna lā yu''minūna bi'āyāti -llahi lā yah'dīhimu -llahu walahum' ʻadhābun 'alīmun
Those who believe not in the Signs of Allah,- Allah will not guide them, and theirs will be a grievous Penalty.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Those who do not believe in Allah's signs, Allah will not guide them, and a painful punishment awaits them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens if you shut your eyes to the truth?"
Settle down and play the start of Saad Al-Ghamdi's An-Nahl (Noor International).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Whom does Allah not guide?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I keep my heart open to the signs?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 104. People who refuse to believe in Allah's signs close the door on guidance. One calm warning. We keep our hearts open and ask Allah to guide us.
Fact: Search the Quran for Al-Fatihah 1:6, the du'a for guidance.
Ages 5–8: Open heart. Make du'a for guidance after each prayer.
Ages 9–12: Signs. Write three signs of Allah you've noticed.
Finish with: "Al-Fatihah 1:6 asks ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for guidance daily."
Action: Ask Allah for guidance daily.
