Opening the ayah…
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ لَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ
Khālidīna fīhā . lā yukhaffafu ʻan'humu l-ʻadhābu walā hum' yunẓarūna
They will abide therein: Their penalty will not be lightened, nor will respite be their (lot).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They will stay in that state, their punishment will not be eased, and no more time will be given.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why use time well now?"
Begin a reciter's Al-Baqarah on NgajiBareng04 and listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will not happen?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why no more time after death?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 162. This ayah mentions, in one calm line, that there's no more time after this life. Now is the time to do good.
Fact: The Prophet said: take advantage of five before five, including life before death (Hakim).
Ages 5–8: Now time. Do a good deed right now.
Ages 9–12: Five before five. Write the five things to use well.
Finish with: "Use life before ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will not delay a good deed."
Action: Not delay a good deed.
