Opening the ayah…
لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
La'am'la'anna jahannama minka wamimman tabiʻaka min'hum' 'aj'maʻīna
"That I will certainly fill Hell with thee and those that follow thee,- every one."

4-I guide
That I will certainly fill Hell with you and with all of those who follow you.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who do you choose to follow in life?"
Watch the Islamic Cartoon By Tara video Kids vs Shaitan.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who will share Iblis's end?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I make sure I do not follow Shaytan?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Sad is surah 38. Find ayah 85. The key word tabi'aka means those who follow you. This is a calm, clear warning: Shaytan and those who choose to follow him end up together. The opposite is also true. Those who follow Allah's guidance end up in Jannah. Every day we choose whom to follow.
Fact: Which surah teaches us to seek refuge from the sneaky whisperer who pulls back?
Ages 5–8: Follow the right path. Lay out two paths with string and walk the one marked with good deeds.
Ages 9–12: Who I follow. Write three people or examples you choose to follow and why.
Finish with: "I found that the surah is ___, number ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will choose to follow the Prophet's example in one habit."
Action: Choose to follow the Prophet's example in one habit.
