Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَيْهِ شَىْءٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ
'Inna -llaha lā yakh'fā ʻalay'hi shay''un fī l-'ar'ḍi walā fī ssamā'i
From Allah, verily nothing is hidden on earth or in the heavens.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Nothing at all on the earth or in the sky is hidden from Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What is the most hidden place you can think of?"
Play the short Ali 'Imran clip of ayat 1–9 from SAHABAT SUNNAH.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where is nothing hidden from Allah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does Allah know everything everywhere?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 5. From the deepest ocean to the farthest star, Allah knows it all. This brings comfort: Allah knows our needs even when we don't say them.
Fact: The deepest part of the ocean is about 11 kilometres down, and Allah knows everything there.
Ages 5–8: Hide and know. Hide a toy and talk about how Allah knows where it is.
Ages 9–12: Comfort. Write how knowing Allah sees everything helps you.
Finish with: "Nothing is ___ from Allah."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tell Allah my worries in du'a."
Action: Tell Allah your worries in du'a.
