Opening the ayah…
۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ تُجَٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
yaw'ma ta''tī kullu naf'sin tujādilu ʻan nnaf'sihā watuwaffā kullu naf'sin mmā ʻamilat' wahum' lā yuẓ'lamūna
One Day every soul will come up struggling for itself, and every soul will be recompensed (fully) for all its actions, and none will be unjustly dealt with.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On a coming Day each person will argue only for themselves, every soul will be repaid in full for what it did, and no one will be wronged.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who will speak for you on the Day of Judgment?"
Hear the opening minutes of An-Nahl in Abdul Rahman Al-Ossi's voice, from From Darkness To Light.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Will anyone be wronged?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah's complete fairness give me hope?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 111. On that Day, everyone will be busy with themselves. Every deed will be repaid fairly. No one will be treated unfairly. That's why every good deed counts now.
Fact: Find 'Abasa 80:34–37 about people fleeing even from family that Day.
Ages 5–8: Every deed counts. Do three small good deeds today.
Ages 9–12: Fairness. Write why Allah's fairness gives hope.
Finish with: "'Abasa 80:37 says ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do small good deeds daily."
Action: Do small good deeds daily.
