Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْقَصَصُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
'Inna hādhā lahuwa l-qaṣaṣu l-ḥaqqu . wamā min' 'ilāhin 'illā -llahu . wa'inna -llaha lahuwa l-ʻazīzu l-ḥakīmu
This is the true account: There is no god except Allah; and Allah-He is indeed the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
This story is true, none deserves worship except Allah, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you know which story is true?"
A short clip on USRAH ILMU STUDIO recites ayat 62–70 of Ali 'Imran. Play the whole clip.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the true account about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why end the story with 'no god but Allah'?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ali 'Imran is surah 3. Find ayah 62. After the story of 'Isa, the Qur'an sums it up: there is no god but Allah. Every story in the Qur'an points back to tawhid.
Fact: La ilaha illallah, no god but Allah, is the first part of the shahadah.
Ages 5–8: Say it. Say La ilaha illallah and learn its meaning.
Ages 9–12: True stories. Write how a Qur'an story points to Allah.
Finish with: "There is no god but ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will say La ilaha illallah ten times each day."
Action: Say La ilaha illallah ten times each day.
