Opening the ayah…
قُلْ هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا ۖ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
Qul' huwa rraḥ'mānu 'āmannā bihī waʻalay'hi tawakkalnā . fassataʻ'lamūna man' huwa fī ḍalālin mmubīnin
Say: "He is (Allah) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error."
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Say: He is the Most Merciful; we believe in Him and put our trust in Him, and you will soon know who is clearly lost.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who do you trust most, and why?"
Watch the Mr Saad Show video Understanding Trust.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Who do the believers trust?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What does it mean to trust Allah?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mulk is surah 67. Find ayah 29. The key words 'alayhi tawakkalna mean upon Him we rely. Baby birds trust their parents to bring food; ducklings follow their mother closely. Believers do their best and trust Ar-Rahman for the rest.
Fact: How do ducklings know which duck is their mother?
Ages 5–8: Trust walk. With an adult, walk with eyes closed while a family member guides you safely.
Ages 9–12: Do and trust. Write about something you prepared for and then trusted Allah with.
Finish with: "I found that ducklings know their mother by ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do my best and then leave my worries with Allah."
Action: Do your best and then leave your worries with Allah.
