Opening the ayah…
جَنَّٰتُ عَدْنٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Jannātu ʻad'nin taj'rī min taḥ'tihā l-'an'hāru khālidīna fīhā . wadhālika jazā'u man tazakkā
Gardens of Eternity, beneath which flow rivers: they will dwell therein for aye: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (from evil).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Their reward is everlasting gardens with rivers flowing beneath, for those who keep themselves pure.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it mean to keep your heart clean?"
B. D has the whole of Ta-Ha by Mishary Alafasy. Play just the first stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who gets this reward?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I keep my heart pure?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ta-Ha is surah 20. Find ayah 76. Tazakka means purifying oneself. A pure heart is free from pride, jealousy and bad habits. Allah promises Jannah to those who work to keep their hearts clean.
Fact: Find the ayah that says successful is the one who purifies the soul (Ash-Shams 91:9).
Ages 5–8: Clean heart. Draw a heart and wipe away 'bad habits' with an eraser.
Ages 9–12: Purify. Write three ways to keep your heart clean.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will work on erasing one bad habit."
Action: Work on erasing one bad habit.
