Opening the ayah…
وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ
Wa 'inna -lladhīna lā yu''minūna bil-'ākhirati ʻani ṣṣirāṭi lanākibūna
And verily those who believe not in the Hereafter are deviating from that Way.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Those who don't believe in the Hereafter keep swerving away from that path.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens if you walk without knowing where you're going?"
Sit quietly and hear Maher Al-Muaiqly, posted by IbraheemAlHosani. Only the start is needed.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who swerves from the path?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does believing in the Hereafter keep us on track?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mu'minun is surah 23. Find ayah 74. If you know where you're going, you choose the right road. Those who don't believe in the Hereafter have no destination, so they wander.
Fact: How does a compass always point north? Find out.
Ages 5–8: Compass walk. Use a compass to find north at home.
Ages 9–12: Destination. Write how knowing your goal changes your choices.
Finish with: "I found a compass points north because ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember my destination when choosing ___."
Action: Remember your goal.
