Opening the ayah…
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فَأُعَذِّبُهُمْ عَذَابًۭا شَدِيدًۭا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ
Fa'ammā -lladhīna kafarū fa'uʻadhdhibuhum' ʻadhāban shadīdan fī ddun'yā wal-'ākhirati wamā lahum mmin nnāṣirīna
"As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."

4-I guide
Those who reject faith will face a severe punishment in this world and the next, and they will have no one to help them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who is the greatest helper anyone can have?"
Iraivan oruvan posted a short recitation of ayat 51–60 of Ali 'Imran. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will they not have?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does turning away from Allah leave a person without help?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 56. This ayah mentions, in one calm line, the result of rejecting faith. Allah is the greatest Helper, and turning to Him is always possible while we live.
Fact: An-Nasir, the Helper, is a description of Allah in the Qur'an (8:40).
Ages 5–8: Helpers. Name people who help you, and thank Allah for them.
Ages 9–12: Best Helper. Write why Allah is the greatest helper.
Finish with: "Allah is the greatest ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah for help each morning."
Action: Ask Allah for help each morning.
