Opening the ayah…
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ عَنْهَا مَحِيصًۭا
'Ūlā'ika ma''wāhum' jahannamu walā yajidūna ʻan'hā maḥīṣan
They (his dupes) will have their dwelling in Hell, and from it they will find no way of escape.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Those who follow Shaytan will end up in the Fire, with no way to escape.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why is it wise not to follow Shaytan's path at all?"
Listen together to a recitation of ayah 121 (Ummah Muslim). Then guess why this guide is called 'No Escape'.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Where do his followers end?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why mention 'no escape'?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 121. This ayah mentions, in one calm line, where Shaytan's path leads. The next ayah gives beautiful good news.
Fact: Find An-Nisa' 4:122, the next ayah's promise.
Ages 5–8: Choose well. Say 'I choose Allah's path'.
Ages 9–12: Paths. Write why we never step on Shaytan's path.
Finish with: "We choose Allah's ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will avoid one thing Shaytan makes look fun."
Action: Avoid one thing Shaytan makes look fun.
