Opening the ayah…
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوٓا۟ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآؤُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
Wa yaw'ma naḥ'shuruhum' jamīʻan thumma naqūlu lilladhīna 'ash'rakū 'ay'na shurakā'ukumu -lladhīna kuntum' taz'ʻumūna
One day shall We gather them all together: We shall say to those who ascribed partners (to Us): "Where are the partners whom ye (invented and) talked about?"
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On the Day everyone is gathered, those who set up partners with Allah will be asked where those partners are now.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens to false friends when you need them?"
Tadabbur Qur'an posted a short recitation of ayat 21–24 of Al-An'am. Listen to all of it together.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question will be asked?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will the partners not answer?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 22. Idols and false gods cannot help anyone. On the Last Day, it will be clear that only Allah has power.
Fact: Al-Qasas 28:62 asks the same question.
Ages 5–8: True helper. Talk about who really helps us: Allah.
Ages 9–12: False partners. Write what people today might rely on instead of Allah.
Finish with: "Only Allah has real ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah first when I need help."
Action: Remember Allah first when you need help.
