Opening the ayah…
۞ وَلَهُۥ مَا سَكَنَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
walahu mā sakana fī -llay'li wa nnahāri . wahuwa ssamīʻu l-ʻalīmu
To him belongeth all that dwelleth (or lurketh) in the night and the day. For he is the one who heareth and knoweth all things."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Everything that rests in the night and moves in the day belongs to Allah, and He hears and knows all.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens in the world while you sleep?"
Settle down and play the start of a reciter's Al-An'am (NgajiBareng04).
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two names of Allah end the ayah?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can Allah hear everyone at once?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 13. Animals rest, plants grow, and people sleep and wake. All of it belongs to Allah. He hears every voice and knows every heart, day and night.
Fact: What the names As-Sami' and Al-'Alim mean? The All-Hearing and the All-Knowing.
Ages 5–8: Night and day. Draw one thing that sleeps at night and one that wakes.
Ages 9–12: Hearing all. Write how it feels to know Allah hears your du'a.
Finish with: "Allah is the All-Hearing and All-___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will make a short du'a before sleeping."
Action: Make a short du'a before sleeping.
