Opening the ayah…
رَبَّنَآ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِنْ عُدْنَا فَإِنَّا ظَٰلِمُونَ
Rabbanā 'akh'rij'nā min'hā fa'in' ʻud'nā fa'innā ẓālimūna
"Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to Evil), then shall we be wrong-doers indeed!"
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They will beg their Lord to take them out, promising never to go back to wrong.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why should we change before we're forced to?"
Al-Huda Productions has the final verses of Al-Mu'minun. Play the short clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do they promise?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will the promise come too late?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 107. Their promise comes after the chance has passed. Today, Allah accepts every sincere 'I'm sorry'.
Fact: Find the ayah that says Allah accepts repentance from His servants (Ash-Shura 42:25).
Ages 5–8: Sorry today. Say sorry for something today.
Ages 9–12: Repentance steps. Write the steps of tawbah.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make tawbah for ___."
Action: Make tawbah.
