Opening the ayah…
۞ وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ
waʻindahum' qāṣirātu ṭṭar'fi 'at'rābun
And beside them will be chaste women restraining their glances, (companions) of equal age.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
With them will be companions with modest eyes, all of the same age.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a good friend?"
Watch the Salam Muslim Kids video The Joy of Jannah. (It has music.)
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What kind of companions are described?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Will there be any arguments in Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Sad is surah 38. Find ayah 52. The key word atrab means of equal age. In Jannah, people will have pure, kind companions, and everyone will be young and full of energy. There will be no jealousy, no fighting and no loneliness. Jannah is a place of peace and true friendship.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Al-Hijr says Allah will remove all bad feelings from hearts in Jannah?
Ages 5–8: Friendship rules. Make a poster of three rules that keep friendships kind.
Ages 9–12: Peaceful place. Write what a place with no jealousy or fighting would feel like.
Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Al-Hijr ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make peace quickly if I argue with someone."
Action: Make peace quickly if you argue with someone.
