Opening the ayah…
يَوْمَئِذٍۢ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَىٰ مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌۭ
Yaw'ma'idhin tuʻ'raḍūna lā takh'fā minkum' khāfiyatun
That Day shall ye be brought to Judgment: not an act of yours that ye hide will be hidden.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
On that Day everyone will be brought before Allah, and not one secret will stay hidden.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How can a special camera see animals in complete darkness?"
Watch the Wild Nature Australia video Thermal Camera Reveals Horses Grazing in Complete Darkness. (It has music.)
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will stay hidden on that Day?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "If Allah sees everything, why do people still try to hide things?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 18. The key words la takhfa minkum khafiyah mean no hidden thing of yours will be hidden. A thermal camera sees the warmth of animals in the dark. Allah needs no camera: He knows every secret already.
Fact: What does a thermal camera actually detect?
Ages 5–8: Warm hands. Press your warm hand on a cold window or mirror, then look at the mark it leaves.
Ages 9–12: Hidden light. Find out what infrared light is and three things it is used for.
Finish with: "I found that a thermal camera detects ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do one good deed that only Allah knows about."
Action: Do one good deed that only Allah knows about.
