Opening the ayah…
لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا إِلَّا سَلَٰمًۭا ۖ وَلَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيهَا بُكْرَةًۭ وَعَشِيًّۭا
Llā yas'maʻūna fīhā lagh'wan 'illā salāman . walahum' riz'quhum' fīhā buk'ratan waʻashiyyan
They will not there hear any vain discourse, but only salutations of Peace: And they will have therein their sustenance, morning and evening.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
In Paradise they will hear no useless talk, only words of peace, and they will have their provision morning and evening.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What would a place with no unkind words feel like?"
Muzammil Hasballah recites Maryam on his own channel. Play the first few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will people hear in Paradise?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make my home more like that?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 62. Laghw means useless or hurtful talk. In Jannah there is none, only salam. We can practise now by keeping our words kind.
Fact: Find the ayah that says believers turn away from idle talk (Al-Mu'minun 23:3).
Ages 5–8: Peace words. Make a list of peaceful words to use at home.
Ages 9–12: No idle talk. Write how to avoid useless talk.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will avoid gossip and unkind talk."
Action: Avoid gossip and unkind talk.
