Opening the ayah…
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِن تُطِيعُوا۟ فَرِيقًۭا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَرُدُّوكُم بَعْدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمْ كَٰفِرِينَ
Yā'ayyuhā -lladhīna 'āmanū 'in tuṭīʻū farīqan mmina -lladhīna 'ūtū l-kitāba yaruddūkum baʻ'da 'īmānikum' kāfirīna
O ye who believe! If ye listen to a faction among the People of the Book, they would (indeed) render you apostates after ye have believed!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Believers are warned that if they followed a certain group among the People of the Book, that group would turn them away from faith after they had believed.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you keep faith strong when others pull you away?"
A short clip on pondok lukman recites ayat 91–100 of Ali 'Imran. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What could some do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why stay firm in faith?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 100. This was about a group in Madinah who tried to cause division. Believers stay firm by learning their faith and keeping good company.
Fact: This ayah came when someone tried to stir up old tribal fights in Madinah.
Ages 5–8: Rock firm. Stand firm like a rock while someone gently pushes.
Ages 9–12: Firm faith. Write what keeps your faith strong.
Finish with: "Stay ___ in faith."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will spend time with friends who help me be good."
Action: Spend time with friends who help you be good.
