Opening the ayah…
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌۭ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
'Inna ssāʻata la'ātiyatun llā ray'ba fīhā walākinna 'ak'thara nnāssi lā yu''minūna
The Hour will certainly come: Therein is no doubt: Yet most men believe not.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The Last Hour will certainly arrive without any doubt, yet most people do not have faith.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do you get ready for an important day?"

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Is there any doubt about the Hour?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I be ready for that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Ghafir is surah 40. Find ayah 59. The key words la rayba fiha mean there is no doubt in it. The Last Day is certain, like the sunrise tomorrow. Most people forget about it or do not believe. Believers remember it and prepare calmly, by doing good deeds every day.
Fact: Which surah's first ayah says the Hour has drawn near?
Ages 5–8: Ready chart. Make a chart of good deeds to do each day to get ready.
Ages 9–12: Certain things. List things you are certain will happen, and add the Last Day.
Finish with: "I found that the surah is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will tick off one good deed each day on my ready chart."
Action: Tick off one good deed each day on your ready chart.
