They will be told not to cry out that day, for no help will come to them.
Start with bismillah.

Hear a short part of Mahmoud Khalil Al-Husary's recitation on القناة الرسمية للشيخ محمود خليل الحصري.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will they be told?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "When is the right time to change?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 65. There is a time when the door to change closes. Today the door is open: we can turn to Allah anytime.
Fact: Find the ayah that says Allah forgives all sins for those who return (Az-Zumar 39:53).
Ages 5–8: Open door. Draw an open door and write 'turn back to Allah' on it.
Ages 9–12: Now, not later. Write one change you'll make now.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make the change: ___."
Action: Make your change.
