Opening the ayah…
يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
Yaw'ma tash'hadu ʻalay'him' 'alsinatuhum' wa'ay'dīhim' wa'ar'juluhum bimā kānū yaʻ'malūna
On the Day when their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On the Day of Judgment, people's own tongues, hands and feet will tell what they did.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "If your shoes could talk, where would they say you went today?"
Daily Deen shares Al-Minshawi's An-Nur. Listen to a short stretch.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which three parts of the body will speak?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would my tongue say about me?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nur is surah 24. Find ayah 24. This is a sign about the unseen. On that Day, our own body parts will tell what they did. It is a reminder to use our tongue, hands and feet for good. How this happens is known only to Allah.
Fact: Find another surah where body parts speak on the Day. Try Surah Ya-Sin, ayah 65.
Ages 5–8: Good-deed diary. Draw a tongue, hands and feet, and add one good thing each did today.
Ages 9–12: Recording. A recorder keeps what we say. Write one thing you'd want your record to show.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___, ayah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will use my ___ (tongue / hands / feet) for one good deed each day."
Action: Keep the good-deed diary.
