Opening the ayah…
وَإِن كُلٌّۭ لَّمَّا جَمِيعٌۭ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ
Wa 'in kullun llammā jamīʻun lladay'nā muḥ'ḍarūna
But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Every single person will be gathered before Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What does it feel like when your whole family gathers together?"
Watch the Yaqeen Institute video The Surahs That Save You, from the Judgement Day series.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Is anyone left out?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Will Allah remember everyone?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ya-Sin is surah 36. Find ayah 32. The key word jami' means all together. Nobody is missed or forgotten: every person from every time will stand before Allah. This shows Allah's complete knowledge and fairness. It also gives hope: every good deed we do will be seen.
Fact: About how many people have ever lived on Earth, according to scientists' estimates?
Ages 5–8: Roll call. Call the name of everyone in your family and have each say present.
Ages 9–12: Big numbers. Write that estimate in words and compare it with the number of people alive now.
Finish with: "I found that about ___ people have ever lived."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed I will be happy for Allah to see."
Action: Do one good deed you will be happy for Allah to see.
