Opening the ayah…
وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَرْضًا
Wa ʻaraḍ'nā jahannama yaw'ma'idhin llil'kāfirīna ʻar'ḍan
And We shall present Hell that day for Unbelievers to see, all spread out,-
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On that Day, the Fire will be shown clearly to those who denied.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is it better to listen to warnings now?"
Play only a short, calm part of the recitation before this serious ayah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will see the Fire?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make sure I'm safe?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Kahf is surah 18. Find ayah 100. A calm, serious warning: those who denied will see the Fire. Believers stay safe by Allah's mercy and their good deeds.
Fact: Find the ayah 'save yourselves and your families from a Fire' (At-Tahrim 66:6).
Ages 5–8: Safety du'a. Learn the du'a for protection from the Fire with an adult.
Ages 9–12: Prepare. Write how good deeds protect us.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn one du'a for Allah's protection."
Action: Learn one du'a for Allah's protection.
