Opening the ayah…
فَلَنُذِيقَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ عَذَابًۭا شَدِيدًۭا وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَسْوَأَ ٱلَّذِى كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
Falanudhīqanna -lladhīna kafarū ʻadhāban shadīdan walanaj'ziyannahum' 'as'wa'a -lladhī kānū yaʻ'malūna
But We will certainly give the Unbelievers a taste of a severe Penalty, and We will requite them for the worst of their deeds.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
We will surely make those deniers taste a hard punishment and repay them for the worst of what they did.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What makes a judge fair?"
Watch the JELLYBEAN TALES video Al-Adl.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the deniers be repaid for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How is Allah always fair?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Fussilat is surah 41. Find ayah 27. The key word lanajziyannahum means We will surely repay them. Allah is Al-Adl, the Just. He never wrongs anyone. Those who mocked the Quran and blocked others from hearing it will face the result of their actions. Allah's justice means that good is never wasted and wrong is never ignored.
Fact: Which ayah in Surah An-Nisa says Allah does not wrong anyone even by an atom's weight?
Ages 5–8: Fair or unfair cards. Sort picture cards of everyday actions into fair and unfair piles.
Ages 9–12: Justice in daily life. Write three ways people can be fair at home and at school.
Finish with: "I found that the ayah is An-Nisa ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make sure everyone gets a fair turn in our games."
Action: Make sure everyone gets a fair turn in our games.
