Opening the ayah…
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهَآ ۚ إِنَّا مِنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنتَقِمُونَ
Wa man' 'aẓ'lamu mimman dhukkira bi'āyāti rabbihī thumma 'aʻ'raḍa ʻan'hā . 'innā mina l-muj'rimīna muntaqimūna
And who does more wrong than one to whom are recited the Signs of his Lord, and who then turns away therefrom? Verily from those who transgress We shall exact (due) Retribution.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Few things are more wrong than hearing Allah's signs and then turning away from them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does it feel when someone turns away while you are talking?"
Listen to the Unique Quran recitation of Surah As-Sajdah by Anas Al-Emadi, with English translation.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do these people do after being reminded?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I listen properly to reminders?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Sajdah is surah 32. Find ayah 22. The key word a'rada means turned away. Hearing a reminder is a gift. Turning away from it on purpose is a great wrong. Believers do the opposite: they listen, think and act.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Qaf says the Quran is a reminder for anyone who has a heart and listens?
Ages 5–8: Listening game. One person reads a sentence and others repeat it back exactly.
Ages 9–12: Listen and act. Write a reminder you heard recently and how you acted on it.
Finish with: "I found that it is ayah ___ of Qaf."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will act on one reminder straight away."
Action: Act on one reminder straight away.
