Opening the ayah…
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa 'inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʻazīzu rraḥīmu
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Nuh's story ends with Allah's names: the Almighty, the Most Merciful.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How did the flood show Allah's might and mercy?"
The full upload is long. Open the Quranic Recitations video of Mohammad Ayub and listen for a while.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which names close Nuh's story?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Where was mercy in the flood story?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 122. The key words al-'Aziz ar-Rahim mean the Almighty, the Merciful. The flood showed Allah's power over the whole earth. The ark showed His mercy to believers and animals. Both are true together.
Fact: Which ayah of As-Saffat sends peace on Nuh among all the worlds?
Ages 5–8: Rainbow ark. Draw the ark on calm water with a bright sky above.
Ages 9–12: Nuh's names. Write how the flood showed might and the ark showed mercy.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of As-Saffat."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will keep going with something hard, like Nuh did."
Action: Keep going with something hard, like Nuh did.
