Opening the ayah…
وَإِذَا حُشِرَ ٱلنَّاسُ كَانُوا۟ لَهُمْ أَعْدَآءًۭ وَكَانُوا۟ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَٰفِرِينَ
Wa 'idhā ḥushira nnāssu kānū lahum' 'aʻ'dā'an wakānū biʻibādatihim' kāfirīna
And when mankind are gathered together (at the Resurrection), they will be hostile to them and reject their worship (altogether)!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
When people are gathered, those they worshipped will become their enemies and deny that they were ever worshipped.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can a statue help anyone?"
Watch the One Islam Productions video Prophet Ibrahim Smashes the Idols.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will the false gods do on that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why did Ibrahim ask the idols to speak?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Ahqaf is surah 46. Find ayah 6. The key word a'da' means enemies. On the Day of Judgement, everything people worshipped instead of Allah will turn against them and say, "We never asked for this." Prophet Ibrahim showed his people that idols could not even protect themselves.
Fact: Which surah tells the story of Ibrahim breaking the idols?
Ages 5–8: Story retell. Retell Ibrahim's idol story using toys or puppets.
Ages 9–12: Modern idols. Write about things people can put before Allah today, like money or fame.
Finish with: "I found that the story is in Surah ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will put salah before screen time every day."
Action: Put salah before screen time every day.
