Opening the ayah…
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۭ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
Wa 'ātay'nāhu fī ddun'yā ḥassanatan . wa'innahu fī l-'ākhirati lamina ṣṣāliḥīna
And We gave him Good in this world, and he will be, in the Hereafter, in the ranks of the Righteous.

4-I guide
Allah gave Ibrahim good in this world, and in the Hereafter he will be among the righteous.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can someone have good in this world and the next?"
Al Fatih TV has a short An-Nahl clip of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 120–128. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Ibrahim receive?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I have good in both worlds?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nahl is surah 16. Find ayah 122. Ibrahim received good here, a blessed family and honour, and will be among the righteous in the Hereafter. Faith and good deeds bring good in both.
Fact: Track down Al-Baqarah 2:201, the du'a for good in both worlds.
Ages 5–8: Both worlds du'a. Learn Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanah.
Ages 9–12: Two goods. Write what good in each world means.
Finish with: "Al-Baqarah 2:201 asks for ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say Rabbana atina after every prayer."
Action: Say Rabbana atina after every prayer.
