Opening the ayah…
لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌۭ وَهُمْ فِيهَا لَا يَسْمَعُونَ
Lahum' fīhā zafīrun wahum' fīhā lā yas'maʻūna
There, sobbing will be their lot, nor will they there hear (aught else).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
There will be groaning for them there, and they will not hear anything else.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is it sad when no one hears you?"
DAGG Productions has the powerful ending of Surah Al-Anbiya. Play a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will they not hear?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah hear us now?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 100. One calm line: there will be sadness and no comfort. Right now, Allah hears every du'a, so we call on Him today.
Fact: Which name of Allah means the One who answers? (Al-Mujib.).
Ages 5–8: Allah hears. Whisper a du'a and remember Allah hears.
Ages 9–12: Heard now. Write why we should call on Allah now.
Finish with: "I found the name ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make a quiet du'a each night."
Action: Make a quiet du'a each night.
