Opening the ayah…
تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَٰلِحُونَ
Tal'faḥu wujūhahumu nnāru wahum' fīhā kāliḥūna
The Fire will burn their faces, and they will therein grin, with their lips displaced.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
This ayah warns of the Fire's harm to those who rejected the truth.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do we keep away from fire?"
Yasser Al-Dosari's channel has a short clip of emotional verses from Al-Mu'minun. Listen together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does the ayah warn us?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah describe the Fire?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 104. This ayah is serious and short. Allah warns about the Fire so that we keep away from what leads to it. His mercy is greater, and He loves those who turn to Him.
Fact: Find a du'a asking Allah to protect us from the Fire (Al-Baqarah 2:201).
Ages 5–8: Safe from fire. Talk about fire safety at home.
Ages 9–12: Shield. Write good deeds that are a shield from the Fire.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make the du'a of Al-Baqarah 2:201."
Action: Make the du'a of Al-Baqarah 2:201.
