Opening the ayah…
وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ فَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wa yaw'ma yunādīhim' fayaqūlu 'ay'na shurakā'iya -lladhīna kuntum' taz'ʻumūna
That Day (Allah) will call to them, and say "Where are my 'partners'?- whom ye imagined (to be such)?"
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On that Day Allah will call out and ask where are the partners they used to claim for Him.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens to false friends when you really need them?"
The Elite Reciters share Yasser Al-Dosari with translation; listen for a few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Allah ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will false gods be unable to help?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Qasas is surah 28. Find ayah 62. The key word shuraka'i means My partners. People worshipped idols and imagined they had power. On the Last Day, Allah will ask where they are. False gods vanish when they are needed most. Allah alone is worthy of worship.
Fact: Which surah's ayah 13 has Luqman call shirk a great wrong?
Ages 5–8: Real helper. Draw who really helps you, and remember Allah helps through them.
Ages 9–12: No partners. Write why Allah needs no partners.
Finish with: "I found it in Surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remind myself that all help comes from Allah."
Action: Remind yourself that all help comes from Allah.
