Opening the ayah…
وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ عَنْهَآ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
Wa -lladhīna kadhdhabū bi'āyātinā wa-s'tak'barū ʻan'hā 'ūlā'ika 'aṣ'ḥābu nnāri . hum' fīhā khālidūna
But those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance,- they are companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for ever).
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

4-I guide
Those who deny Allah's signs and are too proud to accept them are the people of the Fire, staying there forever.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "How does pride stop people from accepting the truth?"
Abu Said Quran Studio has a short Al-A'raf clip of Yasser Al-Dosari reciting ayat 26–43. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What two things did they do?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why is pride linked to rejecting truth?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 36. Pride makes people refuse the truth even when it's clear. The ayah mentions the Fire in one line. Humility opens hearts to the truth.
Fact: Find Luqman 31:18: do not walk proudly on the earth.
Ages 5–8: Humble walk. Walk gently and kindly like Luqman taught.
Ages 9–12: Pride. Write how pride blocks the truth.
Finish with: "Do not walk ___ on the earth."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will accept advice without arguing."
Action: Accept advice without arguing.
