Opening the ayah…
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ
Wa -lladhīna yu''minūna bimā 'unzila 'ilay'ka wamā 'unzila min qab'lika wabil-'ākhirati hum' yūqinūna
And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They believe in what was sent down to the Prophet and what came before him, and they are sure of the Hereafter.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Do Muslims believe in earlier books?"
Muslim In need has a short Al-Baqarah clip of Al-Husary reciting ayat 1–5. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What are they sure of?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why believe in earlier revelation too?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Baqarah is surah 2. Find ayah 4. Believers accept the Qur'an and the books before it, like the Tawrah and Injil, as sent by Allah. They are certain about the life to come.
Fact: Believing in Allah's books is one of the six pillars of iman.
Ages 5–8: Pillars. Name the six pillars of iman.
Ages 9–12: Certainty. Write how being sure of the Hereafter changes what we do.
Finish with: "They are certain of the ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn the six pillars of iman."
Action: Learn the six pillars of iman.
