Opening the ayah…
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ فَيَقُولُ هَآؤُمُ ٱقْرَءُوا۟ كِتَٰبِيَهْ
Fa'ammā man' 'ūtiya kitābahu biyamīnihī fayaqūlu hā'umu (i)q'ra'ū kitābiyah'
Then he that will be given his Record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read ye my Record!
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
The one handed their record in the right hand will happily call out for others to read it.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Have you ever been so proud of your work that you wanted to show everyone?"
Watch the Psych For Kids video Simple Journaling for Kids.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "How does this person feel about their book?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "What would I like to see written in my book of deeds?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-Haqqah is surah 69. Find ayah 19. The key words kitabahu bi-yaminihi mean his book in his right hand. Every person has a record of deeds. The happy believer will be so glad that they want everyone to read it. Each good deed today adds a line to that book.
Fact: What is the oldest diary that people still have today?
Ages 5–8: Good deeds page. Draw a page from your "good deeds book" with three things you did today.
Ages 9–12: Deed journal. Keep a short journal for a week: one good deed and one thing to improve each day.
Finish with: "I found that one of the oldest diaries is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will add one good deed to my book each day."
Action: Add one good deed to your book each day.
