Opening the ayah…
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ
Thumma 'innakum' yaw'ma l-qiyāmati ʻinda rabbikum' takh'taṣimūna
In the end will ye (all), on the Day of Judgment, settle your disputes in the presence of your Lord.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Then on the Day of Resurrection you will present your disputes before your Lord.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you solve an argument with a friend?"
Watch the Lesson Boosters video Everyday Conflict Resolution Skills for Kids.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where will every argument be settled?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why should I solve arguments now?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Az-Zumar is surah 39. Find ayah 31. The key word takhtasimun means you will dispute. Every unsolved disagreement will finally be settled fairly before Allah. It is better to settle our quarrels now, kindly and fairly, with apologies and forgiveness, so our hearts stay clean.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah Al-Hajj says Allah will judge between people on the Day about what they differed?
Ages 5–8: Peace steps. Practise three steps: calm down, say how you feel, find a fair answer.
Ages 9–12: Solve it now. Think of a disagreement you have and write a fair way to solve it.
Finish with: "I found that the ayah is Al-Hajj ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will solve one disagreement kindly."
Action: Solve one disagreement kindly.
