Wa yaw'ma taqūmu ssāʻatu yaw'ma'idhin yatafarraqūna
On the Day that the Hour will be established,- that Day shall (all men) be sorted out.

4-I guide
When the Hour comes, people will be separated according to what they believed and did.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you sort laundry, toys or books?"
Listen to the Quran in English 114 recitation of Surah Ar-Rum by Sheikh Ahmad Alnufais. Play the first few minutes.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What happens to people on that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Which group do I want to be in?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ar-Rum is surah 30. Find ayah 14. The key word yatafarraqun means they will be separated. In this world, good and bad people live side by side. On that Day, they will be sorted by their faith and deeds. The next two ayat describe the two groups.
Fact: What is the Arabic name for the Day of Judgement used in many surahs, meaning the Day of Rising?
Ages 5–8: Sorting game. Sort a pile of buttons by colour and talk about how people will be sorted by deeds.
Ages 9–12: My group. Write what kind of person you want to be counted with on that Day.
Finish with: "I found that it is called ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will spend time with friends who help me do good."
Action: Spend time with friends who help you do good.
