Opening the ayah…
وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ مُّحِيطًۭا
Wa lillahi mā fī ssamāwāti wamā fī l-'ar'ḍi . wakāna -llahu bikulli shay''in mmuḥīṭan
But to Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth: And He it is that Encompasseth all things.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Allah, and He encompasses all things.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is anything outside Allah's knowledge?"
Our listening today is a recitation of ayat 121–130, posted by Islam official146. Keep 'He Encompasses All' in mind while you listen.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does Allah encompass?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does 'encompass' mean?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 126. Al-Muhit means Allah's knowledge and power surround everything. Nothing is outside Him.
Fact: Al-Muhit means the All-Encompassing.
Ages 5–8: Hug circle. Make a big circle with your arms and talk about Al-Muhit.
Ages 9–12: Al-Muhit. Write how this name brings comfort.
Finish with: "Allah is Al-___, encompassing all."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah knows everything I face."
Action: Remember Allah knows everything you face.
