Opening the ayah…
يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ ٱمْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِن مَّزِيدٍۢ
Yaw'ma naqūlu lijahannama hali (i)m'tala''ti wataqūlu hal' min mmazīdin
One Day We will ask Hell, "Art thou filled to the full?" It will say, "Are there any more (to come)?"
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On that Day We will ask Hell if it is full, and it will ask if there are more.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do we have safety rules at home and at school?"
Watch the Tutoring Hour video Safety Rules for Kids - Quiz.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What does this ayah warn us about?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah give such strong warnings?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Qaf is surah 50. Find ayah 30. The key words hal imtala'ti mean are you full. This ayah is a short, serious warning that Hell is real. Allah warns us out of mercy, just as safety rules keep us from harm. Following His guidance keeps us safe.
Fact: What are three safety rules that protect children at home?
Ages 5–8: Safety hunt. Find three things at home that keep you safe, like a smoke alarm.
Ages 9–12: Rule reasons. Pick three family rules and write how each one protects you.
Finish with: "I found that three home safety rules are ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will follow one safety rule without being reminded."
Action: Follow one safety rule without being reminded.
