Opening the ayah…
إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْتُمُونَ
'Innahu yaʻ'lamu l-jah'ra mina l-qaw'li wayaʻ'lamu mā tak'tumūna
"It is He Who knows what is open in speech and what ye hide (in your hearts).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah knows what is said out loud and what is kept hidden.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you hide a thought from Allah?"
Sit quietly and hear Muhammad Al-Luhaidan, posted by Rio Qur'an . Only the start is needed.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things does Allah know?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How should this change my words and thoughts?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 110. Allah knows our spoken words and hidden thoughts. That helps us keep both clean.
Fact: Find the ayah that says Allah knows what is in the hearts (Al-Mulk 67:13).
Ages 5–8: Inside and out. Draw a heart with good thoughts inside.
Ages 9–12: Clean thoughts. Write how to keep thoughts kind.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will replace an unkind thought with a kind one."
Action: Replace an unkind thought with a kind one.
