Opening the ayah…
إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ ٱلْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
'Innā qad' 'ūḥiya 'ilay'nā 'anna l-ʻadhāba ʻalā man kadhdhaba watawallā
"'Verily it has been revealed to us that the Penalty (awaits) those who reject and turn away.'"
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They said it had been revealed that punishment is for whoever denies the truth and turns away.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do roads have warning signs?"
A talk on Ta-Ha by Nouman Ali Khan (The Guided Path) is here for grown-ups. Watch a little beforehand and pick one point for the children.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is the warning for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is a warning a kindness?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 48. A warning is given so people can change. Allah warns those who turn away so they can come back. His mercy is always open.
Fact: Find the ayah that says Allah's mercy covers everything (Al-A'raf 7:156).
Ages 5–8: Warning signs. Draw safety signs and explain why they help.
Ages 9–12: Kind warnings. Write about a warning that kept you safe.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen to a kind warning the first time."
Action: Listen to a kind warning the first time.
