Opening the ayah…
إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَٰرِدُونَ
'Innakum' wamā taʻ'budūna min dūni -llahi ḥaṣabu jahannama 'antum' lahā wāridūna
Verily ye, (unbelievers), and the (false) gods that ye worship besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! to it will ye (surely) come!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The deniers and what they worshipped besides Allah will both enter Jahannam.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can false gods save anyone?"
Listen together to Abdur-Rahman As-Sudais reciting ayat 83–112, shared by IMAMS OF HARAMAIN.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will enter Jahannam with them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will false gods be shown to be helpless?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Anbiya is surah 21. Find ayah 98. One calm line: the false gods will go into the Fire with their worshippers, showing they had no power. This means the statues and false gods those people made with their own hands, not prophets or angels who were wrongly worshipped; Allah makes that clear in 21:101. Only Allah saves.
Fact: Find the ayah that says only Allah saves (Al-An'am 6:64).
Ages 5–8: Only Allah. Draw a lifebuoy labelled 'only Allah saves'.
Ages 9–12: Helpless. Write why false gods can't save.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah for keeping me safe."
Action: Thank Allah for keeping you safe.
