Opening the ayah…
وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌۭ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
Wa 'anna ssāʻata 'ātiyatun llā ray'ba fīhā wa'anna -llaha yab'ʻathu man fī l-qubūri
And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it, or about (the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The Hour is surely coming, there is no doubt in it, and Allah will raise those in the graves.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How sure are you that the sun will rise tomorrow?"
MY Quran shares Ismail Hashim's recitation of Al-Hajj. Listen to a short stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is there no doubt about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I live as someone who knows the Hour is coming?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hajj is surah 22. Find ayah 7. Allah says it twice: the Hour is certain, and people will be raised. Being sure of this helps us live with purpose.
Fact: Find another ayah that says the Hour is coming, no doubt about it (Ghafir 40:59).
Ages 5–8: Sure things. List things you're sure will happen (sunrise, Fajr).
Ages 9–12: Living ready. Write how being sure of the Hour changes your choices.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one thing for my Hereafter each day."
Action: Do one thing for your Hereafter each day.
