Opening the ayah…
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
Wa -lladhīna kafarū wakadhdhabū bi'āyātinā 'ūlā'ika 'aṣ'ḥābu nnāri khālidīna fīhā . wabi''sa l-maṣīru
But those who reject Faith and treat Our Signs as falsehoods, they will be Companions of the Fire, to dwell therein for aye: and evil is that Goal.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
But those who disbelieve and deny Allah's signs will be people of the Fire forever, a terrible end.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Why do adults warn children not to play with fire?"
Watch the Atom Kid's Quest video Fire Safety Education for Kids.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who is this warning for?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How can I stay on the path to Jannah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Taghabun is surah 64. Find ayah 10. The key words wa bi'sal-masir mean and wretched is the destination. Right after the good news comes a warning, so we can choose wisely. Fire safety rules keep us safe at home; Allah's warnings keep us safe forever.
Fact: What should you do if your clothes catch fire?
Ages 5–8: Stop, drop and roll. Practise the steps on a soft carpet.
Ages 9–12: Two paths. Draw the two endings in ayat 9 and 10 and the deeds that lead to each.
Finish with: "I found that if clothes catch fire you should ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will ask Allah every day to keep me on the path to Jannah."
Action: Ask Allah every day to keep you on the path to Jannah.
