Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Can something look good but actually be harmful?"

In 2000 Mishary Alafasy recorded An-Naml; his channel has it, so play the beginning.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happens to those who deny the Hereafter?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I check if my deeds are truly good?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Naml is surah 27. Find ayah 4. The key word ya'mahun means they wander blindly. When people forget the Hereafter, they judge everything by what feels good now. Their wrong choices start to look fine to them. Remembering Allah's measure keeps us on track.

Fact: Which surah, in ayah 104, describes people who think they are doing well while their efforts are lost?

Ages 5–8: Shiny but bad. Compare a shiny sweet wrapper with a healthy apple and talk about what is really good.

Ages 9–12: Real check. Write three questions to check whether a habit is truly good.

Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___."

Talk together:

• Why can wrong things seem right?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does remembering the Hereafter help?
• Who helps you check your choices?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask, 'Would Allah be pleased?' before choosing."

• Ask if Allah would be pleased.
• Try shiny but bad.
• Share a real check.
• Next time: the next ayah (27:5) says the deniers face a hard punishment and loss. Explore it together!

Action: Ask, 'Would Allah be pleased?' before choosing.
