Opening the ayah…
تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُۥ سَلَٰمٌۭ ۚ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًۭا كَرِيمًۭا
Taḥiyyatuhum' yaw'ma yal'qaw'nahu salāmun . wa'aʻadda lahum' 'aj'ran karīman
Their salutation on the Day they meet Him will be "Peace!"; and He has prepared for them a generous Reward.

4-I guide
When the believers meet Allah, their greeting will be peace, and a generous reward will be waiting.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you greet someone you are happy to see?"
Watch the Super Muslim Kids nasheed Salam: Spreading Peace (vocals only).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will their greeting be?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will meeting Allah be like?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahzab is surah 33. Find ayah 44. The key word salam means peace. The greeting we use every day is the same greeting believers will hear when they meet Allah. Salam is also one of Allah's names, As-Salam, the source of peace.
Fact: Which surah describes the people of Paradise hearing only peace, with no idle talk?
Ages 5–8: Peace greetings. Greet everyone at home with salam today and count how many.
Ages 9–12: Salam in Arabic. Learn the full greeting and its reply, and explain what each part means.
Finish with: "I found that it is surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will greet someone new with salam each day."
Action: Greet someone new with salam each day.
