No, those false gods will deny their worship and become their opponents.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What if the things you trusted turned against you?"
Hear the opening minutes of Maryam in Islam Sobhi's voice, from قرآن اونلاين .
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the false gods do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why trust only Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Maryam is surah 19. Find ayah 82. On that Day, the false gods won't help; they will reject the people who worshipped them. Only Allah never lets down those who trust Him.
Fact: Find a similar ayah in Al-Ahqaf (46:6).
Ages 5–8: Trust test. Talk about who you can always trust.
Ages 9–12: Let down. Write why only Allah never lets us down.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will turn to Allah first when I need help."
Action: Turn to Allah first when you need help.
