Opening the ayah…
تَكَادُ تَمَيَّزُ مِنَ ٱلْغَيْظِ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أُلْقِىَ فِيهَا فَوْجٌۭ سَأَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَآ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ
Takādu tamayyazu mina l-ghay'ẓi . kullamā 'ul'qiya fīhā faw'jun sa'alahum' khazanatuhā 'alam' ya''tikum' nadhīrun
Almost bursting with fury: Every time a Group is cast therein, its Keepers will ask, "Did no Warner come to you?"
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
It almost bursts with fury; each time a group is thrown in, its keepers ask whether no warner came to them.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How do people near the sea know a giant wave is coming?"
Watch the KnowHub video Tsunami Warning Systems Explained.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What question do the keepers ask?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Who are the warners Allah sent to us?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Mulk is surah 67. Find ayah 8. The key words alam ya'tikum nadhir mean did no warner come to you? Allah sent prophets to every people, so no one can say they weren't warned. Warning systems give people time to reach safety; the Quran gives us time too.
Fact: How do tsunami warning buoys detect a dangerous wave?
Ages 5–8: Warning signs. Draw three warning signs you see in your town.
Ages 9–12: Warning chain. Draw how a tsunami warning travels from the ocean to people's phones.
Finish with: "I found that warning buoys detect ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remind someone kindly about something good."
Action: Remind someone kindly about something good.
