Opening the ayah…
وَكَذَّبَ بِهِۦ قَوْمُكَ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ قُل لَّسْتُ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍۢ
Wa kadhdhaba bihī qaw'muka wahuwa l-ḥaqqu . qul llas'tu ʻalay'kum biwakīlin
But thy people reject this, though it is the truth. Say: "Not mine is the responsibility for arranging your affairs;

4-I guide
The Prophet's people denied the message though it is the truth, and he was told to say he is not their keeper.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Can you make choices for other people?"
Listen together as Mishary Alafasy recites ayat 61–70 of Al-An'am, a short clip shared by Holy Qur'an-القرآن الكريم.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What did the Prophet say about his role?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why isn't he responsible for their choices?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-An'am is surah 6. Find ayah 66. The Prophet's role was to share the message clearly. Each person is responsible for their own choice.
Fact: Al-Ghashiyah 88:21–22 says the Prophet is a reminder, not a controller.
Ages 5–8: My choices. Talk about choices you make for yourself.
Ages 9–12: Each responsible. Write why each person answers for their own choices.
Finish with: "The Prophet's job was to ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will take responsibility for my choices."
Action: Take responsibility for your choices.
