Opening the ayah…
أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌۭ مُّسْتَقَرًّۭا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًۭا
'Aṣ'ḥābu l-jannati yaw'ma'idhin khay'run mmus'taqarran wa'aḥ'sanu maqīlan
The Companions of the Garden will be well, that Day, in their abode, and have the fairest of places for repose.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On that Day the people of the Garden will have the finest home and the most pleasant place to rest.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Where is your favourite place to rest after a long day?"
Abdul Rahman As-Sudais reads Surah Al-Furqan here, uploaded by Daily Recitation TV HD.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the people of the Garden have?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will rest in the Garden feel like?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Furqan is surah 25. Find ayah 24. The key word maqil means a midday resting place. After the hard scene of ayah 23, Allah shows the people of the Garden resting in peace and comfort.
Fact: Why do many people in hot countries rest in the middle of the day?
Ages 5–8: Rest corner. Make a cosy corner with a cushion and say a dua for Jannah.
Ages 9–12: Two scenes. Write the contrast between ayah 23 and ayah 24.
Finish with: "I found people rest at midday because ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will rest well after a good deed and thank Allah."
Action: Rest well after a good deed and thank Allah.
