Opening the ayah…
مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وِزْرًا
Mman' 'aʻ'raḍa ʻan'hu fa'innahu yaḥ'milu yaw'ma l-qiyāmati wiz'ran
If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment;

4-I guide
Whoever turns away from the Quran will carry a heavy burden on the Day of Judgment.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a backpack heavy?"
Play the short clip from D'QURAN of Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais reciting ayat 98–114 of Ta-Ha.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "When is the burden carried?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I keep my 'bag' light?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 100. Turning away from guidance is like filling a bag with heavy stones. Listening to the Quran and doing good keeps our load light.
Fact: How heavy should a school bag be? Find the advice.
Ages 5–8: Heavy and light. Fill a bag with stones, then swap for feathers.
Ages 9–12: Light load. Write how to keep your deeds light and good.
Finish with: "I found it should be about ___ of body weight."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will read or listen to the Quran each day."
Action: Read or listen to the Quran each day.
