Opening the ayah…
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ مَن تُدْخِلِ ٱلنَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُۥ ۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍۢ
Rabbanā 'innaka man tud'khili nnāra faqad' 'akh'zay'tahu . wamā li ẓẓālimīna min' 'anṣārin
"Our Lord! any whom Thou dost admit to the Fire, Truly Thou coverest with shame, and never will wrong-doers Find any helpers!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
They pray: our Lord, whoever You enter into the Fire, You have truly disgraced, and wrongdoers will have no helpers.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do believers ask to be protected?"
Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 190–197 of Ali 'Imran, a short clip shared by Green Lane Masjid.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will have no helpers?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why include protection in du'a?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 192. This du'a mentions, in one calm line, the Fire. Believers ask Allah for protection because only He can protect.
Fact: The du'as at the end of Ali 'Imran begin with 'Rabbana' five times.
Ages 5–8: Count Rabbana. Count how many times Rabbana appears in 3:191–194.
Ages 9–12: Protection du'a. Write your own du'a for protection.
Finish with: "Only Allah can ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for protection each night."
Action: Ask Allah for protection each night.
