Opening the ayah…
إِلَّا طَرِيقَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًۭا ۚ وَكَانَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرًۭا
'Illā ṭarīqa jahannama khālidīna fīhā 'abadan . wakāna dhālika ʻalā-llahi yassīran
Except the way of Hell, to dwell therein for ever. And this to Allah is easy.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
except the path to the Fire, to remain there forever, and that is easy for Allah.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does the Qur'an end warnings by mentioning Allah's power?"
Listen together to a recitation of ayat 161–170 (CINTA NGAJI TV). Then guess why this guide is called 'Easy for Allah'.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is easy for Allah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why mention it is easy for Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah An-Nisa' is surah 4. Find ayah 169. This ayah completes the previous one in one calm line. Nothing is hard for Allah. The next ayah invites all people to believe.
Fact: Find An-Nisa' 4:170, the next ayah's invitation.
Ages 5–8: Allah's power. Say 'Allah can do anything'.
Ages 9–12: Power and mercy. Write how this ayah leads to the next invitation.
Finish with: "Nothing is ___ for Allah."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah's power and mercy."
Action: Remember Allah's power and mercy.
