Opening the ayah…
لَا يَسْمَعُونَ حَسِيسَهَا ۖ وَهُمْ فِى مَا ٱشْتَهَتْ أَنفُسُهُمْ خَٰلِدُونَ
Lā yas'maʻūna ḥassīsahā . wahum' fī mā (i)sh'tahat' 'anfussuhum' khālidūna
Not the slightest sound will they hear of Hell: what their souls desired, in that will they dwell.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They will not hear even the faintest sound of it, and they will live forever in whatever their souls wish for.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the most peaceful place you can imagine?"
Lumière has Ali Jaber reciting from 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: "What would my soul wish for?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 102. The people of Jannah will be so far from the Fire they won't hear a whisper of it. They'll have whatever their souls desire. What it truly is like, Allah knows.
Fact: Find the ayah that says in Jannah there is what souls desire (Az-Zukhruf 43:71).
Ages 5–8: Peaceful drawing. Draw your most peaceful place.
Ages 9–12: Soul's wishes. Write three good wishes you hope for in Jannah.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make du'a for Jannah."
Action: Make du'a for Jannah.
