Opening the ayah…
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنَهُم بِظُلْمٍ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْأَمْنُ وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
Alladhīna 'āmanū walam' yal'bissū 'īmānahum biẓul'min 'ūlā'ika lahumu l-'am'nu wahum mmuh'tadūna
"It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong - that are (truly) in security, for they are on (right) guidance."

Fact: In Luqman 31:13, Luqman calls shirk a great wrong.
Ages 5–8: Pure water. Compare clean water with muddy water and talk about pure faith.
