Opening the ayah…
لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمُ ٱلنَّارُ ۖ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
Lā taḥ'sabanna -lladhīna kafarū muʻ'jizīna fī l-'ar'ḍi . wama''wāhumu nnāru . walabi''sa l-maṣīru
Never think thou that the Unbelievers are going to frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth: their abode is the Fire,- and it is indeed an evil refuge!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Never think that those who reject faith can escape Allah anywhere on earth, and their final home is the Fire.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can anything hide from the sun at noon in an open field?"
Alaa Aqel's own channel has his An-Nur. Play a little.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What should we never think?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why can no one escape Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nur is surah 24. Find ayah 57. This ayah reminds us that Allah's power reaches everywhere. No one can run away from Him. The ayah mentions the Fire in one serious line, a warning to choose faith and good. Allah's mercy is open to all who turn to Him.
Fact: How big is the earth? Find out its distance around (circumference).
Ages 5–8: Open field. Look at a wide-horizon picture and talk about how Allah sees everywhere.
Ages 9–12: Good choices. Write three choices that bring you closer to Allah.
Finish with: "I found the earth is ___ km around."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make the good choice of ___ (what)."
Action: Make your good choice.
