Opening the ayah…
أَتُتْرَكُونَ فِى مَا هَٰهُنَآ ءَامِنِينَ
'Atut'rakūna fī mā hāhunā 'āminīna
"Will ye be left secure, in (the enjoyment of) all that ye have here?-
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Salih asked whether they thought they would be left safe forever with everything they enjoyed.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Do good times last forever?"
It is a long video. Play Raad Al-Kurdi's recitation from Raad Mohammad al Kurdi and follow along.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did Salih ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Thamud feel so safe?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ash-Shu'ara is surah 26. Find ayah 146. The key word aminin means secure. Thamud thought their comfort would never end. Salih reminded them that life is a test, not a permanent holiday. Enjoy blessings, but remember they are trusts.
Fact: Which ayah of Al-Qiyamah asks if people think they will be left without purpose?
Ages 5–8: Seasons change. Draw the four seasons of a tree.
Ages 9–12: Not forever. Write why comfort should not make us careless.
Finish with: "I found it is ayah ___ of Al-Qiyamah."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will thank Allah in an easy moment."
Action: Thank Allah in an easy moment.
