Opening the ayah…
أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ فِى كِتَٰبٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌۭ
'Alam' taʻ'lam' 'anna -llaha yaʻ'lamu mā fī ssamā'i wal-'ar'ḍi . 'inna dhālika fī kitābin . 'inna dhālika ʻalā-llahi yassīrun
Knowest thou not that Allah knows all that is in heaven and on earth? Indeed it is all in a Record, and that is easy for Allah.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Allah knows everything in the heavens and earth; all of it is written in a Book, and this is easy for Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How big would a book need to be to record everything?"
Only a few minutes are needed: Maher Al-Muaiqly recites Al-Hajj on IbraheemAlHosani.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is easy for Allah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can Allah know everything?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hajj is surah 22. Find ayah 70. Nothing is too much for Allah's knowledge. Everything is recorded, and it's easy for Him. That comforts us: nothing good we do is lost.
Fact: How many books are in the biggest library in the world? Find out.
Ages 5–8: My record. Draw a page recording your good deeds today.
Ages 9–12: Big knowledge. Write why it's easy for Allah to know everything.
Finish with: "I found the biggest library has about ___ books."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do a good deed each day for my record."
Action: Do a good deed each day for your record.
