Opening the ayah…
مَا قَدَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَقَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
Mā qadarū -llaha ḥaqqa qad'rihī . 'inna -llaha laqawiyyun ʻazīzun
No just estimate have they made of Allah: for Allah is He Who is strong and able to Carry out His Will.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They have not valued Allah as He truly deserves, for Allah is Strong and Mighty.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens when we don't value something precious?"
Listen together to a short recitation of ayat 73–78, shared by USRAH ILMU STUDIO.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names end the ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I value Allah rightly?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hajj is surah 22. Find ayah 74. People who worship others haven't understood how great Allah is. Al-Qawiyy is the Strong; Al-'Aziz is the Mighty. Learning His names helps us value Him.
Fact: How many names of Allah can you list? Try ten.
Ages 5–8: Names wall. Write names of Allah on paper bricks.
Ages 9–12: Two names. Write what Al-Qawiyy and Al-'Aziz mean.
Finish with: "I listed ___ names."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will learn the meaning of one name of Allah each day."
Action: Learn the meaning of one name of Allah each day.
