Opening the ayah…
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ ۚ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Wa qālū law'lā ya''tīnā bi'āyatin mmin rrabbihī . 'awalam' ta''tihim bayyinatu mā fī ṣṣuḥufi l-'ūlā
They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
People asked why the Prophet didn't bring a sign, yet clear proof had already come confirming what was in earlier scriptures.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do some people keep asking for more proof?"
Hear the opening minutes of Ta-Ha in Saad Al-Ghamdi's voice, from KURANgentr.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What had already come to them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why isn't the Quran enough for some people?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 133. The Quran itself is a clear sign, confirming earlier messages. Some people keep asking for more instead of looking at what they have.
Fact: Find the ayah that says isn't it enough that We sent the Book (Al-'Ankabut 29:51)?
Ages 5–8: Signs around. Find signs of Allah in your room.
Ages 9–12: Enough proof. Write why the Quran is a great sign.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will read an ayah and notice how it's a sign."
Action: Read an ayah and notice how it's a sign.
