Opening the ayah…
لَّٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًۭا
Llākinnā huwa -llahu rabbī walā 'ush'riku birabbī 'aḥadan
"But (I think) for my part that He is Allah, My Lord, and none shall I associate with my Lord.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The friend said: but as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I will never set up any partner with my Lord.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you say what you believe clearly?"
Begin Nasser Al-Qatami's Al-Kahf on القناة الرسمية للشيخ ناصر القطامي and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the friend say about his Lord?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why was the poor friend so confident?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Kahf is surah 18. Find ayah 38. The poorer friend had less money but stronger faith. He said clearly: Allah is my Lord, alone. True richness is in the heart.
Fact: Find a similar statement in Al-An'am (6:162–163).
Ages 5–8: My belief. Say together: Allah is my Lord.
Ages 9–12: Rich heart. Write what makes a heart truly rich.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say la ilaha illallah each morning."
Action: Say la ilaha illallah each morning.
