Opening the ayah…
فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Fa'aq'bala baʻ'ḍuhum' ʻalā baʻ'ḍin yatassā'alūna
Then they will turn to one another and question one another.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Then they will turn to each other and ask one another questions.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What do you love talking about with your friends?"
Watch the Our Little Muslims video The 10 Companions Promised Jannah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What do the people of Jannah do together?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What will friends talk about in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah As-Saffat is surah 37. Find ayah 50. The key word yatasa'alun means asking one another. Earlier in this surah, the wrongdoers asked each other questions full of blame. Here the people of Jannah talk happily, remembering their journey. Good friends share stories and thank Allah together.
Fact: Which companion of the Prophet was given the title As-Siddiq?
Ages 5–8: Story share. Share a happy memory with a family member and thank Allah for it.
Ages 9–12: Blame versus thanks. Compare ayah 27 and ayah 50 and describe the difference in a short paragraph.
Finish with: "I found that As-Siddiq was ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will share one thing I am thankful for at dinner each night."
Action: Share one thing you are thankful for at dinner each night.
