Opening the ayah…
فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَكَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْمُهْلَكِينَ
Fakadhdhabūhumā fakānū mina l-muh'lakīna
So they accused them of falsehood, and they became of those who were destroyed.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They called Musa and Harun liars, and they became among those destroyed.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens if you ignore every warning sign?"
Play a few minutes of Ahmad Al-Ajmi on LISTENNN..
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happened to them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did they ignore so many signs?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 48. Pharaoh's people saw many signs but kept denying. In the end they were destroyed. One calm line: Allah's warnings are mercy before it is too late.
Fact: Which surah tells how the sea was parted for Musa? (Ash-Shu'ara, 26:63.).
Ages 5–8: Warning signs. Find warning signs at home (hot, sharp) and explain them.
Ages 9–12: Mercy of warnings. Write how a warning is a kind thing.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen to a warning from ___."
Action: Listen to warnings.
