Opening the ayah…
فَكَانَ عَٰقِبَتَهُمَآ أَنَّهُمَا فِى ٱلنَّارِ خَٰلِدَيْنِ فِيهَا ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
Fakāna ʻāqibatahumā 'annahumā fī nnāri khāliday'ni fīhā . wadhālika jazā'u ẓẓālimīna
The end of both will be that they will go into the Fire, dwelling therein for ever. Such is the reward of the wrong-doers.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Looking for reflections…
Shared reflections are reviewed before they appear. We feature ones that follow the spirit of the 4-I journey and suit families of all backgrounds.
Guided by the 4-I journey: Inspire, Investigate, Integrate, Impart. Use it as a starting point and make it your own.
Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
So the end of both is the Fire, to remain there; that is the reward of wrongdoers.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why does a metal spoon in hot soup get hot all the way up?"
Watch the Next Generation Science video Heat Transfer.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the end of both the trickster and the one he tricked?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does following a trickster lead to the same end?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Hashr is surah 59. Find ayah 17. The key word 'aqibatahuma means the end of both of them. Whoever follows a wrong guide ends up in the same place as the guide. Heat travels from one thing to the next; so do bad influences. Good friends pass on good.
Fact: What are conduction, convection and radiation?
Ages 5–8: Pass it on. Pass a warm hand-squeeze around the family. Good things travel too!
Ages 9–12: Influence map. Draw who influences you and whom you influence.
Finish with: "I found that conduction is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will spend time with people who help me do good."
Action: Spend time with people who help you do good.
