Start with bismillah.

Ask: "Why is it better to admit the truth early?"

Watch the WonderGrove Kids video Always Tell the Truth.

Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the deniers finally admit?"

Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is it too late to admit the truth on that Day?" Younger children can draw theirs.

Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahqaf is surah 46. Find ayah 34. The key word bil-haqq means the truth. On the Day of Judgement, everyone will see that Allah's promise was true, and the deniers will admit it, but too late. Now is the time to accept the truth, while we can still act on it.

Fact: What does the word haqq mean in Arabic?

Ages 5–8: Own up. Practise saying "It was me, I'm sorry" for a small pretend mistake.

Ages 9–12: Early or late. Write about why owning up early is better than being found out.

Finish with: "I found that haqq means ___."

Talk together:

• Why will admitting the truth be too late then?
• Which name of Allah does this remind you of?
• How does owning up early help us?
• What truth do you want to live by now?
• What would you like to ask about this ayah?

Make a small plan: "This week, I will own up to a mistake straight away."

• Own up straight away.
• Practise owning up.
• Share early or late.
• Next time: the last ayah (46:35) teaches patience like the great messengers. Explore it together!

Action: Own up to a mistake straight away.
