Opening the ayah…
فَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَنَسْـَٔلَنَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Falanas''alanna -lladhīna 'ur'sila 'ilay'him' walanas''alanna l-mur'salīna
Then shall we question those to whom Our message was sent and those by whom We sent it.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Opening the guide…
No reflections for this ayah yet. Be the first, by reflecting with the 4-I journey below!
4-I guide
Allah will question the people who received messengers, and He will question the messengers too.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Who will be asked about what they did?"
Daily listen Quran has a short Al-A'raf clip of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 1–11. Play it all.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "Which two groups will be questioned?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why will even the messengers be asked?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 6. On the Day of Judgment, everyone will be asked. People will be asked how they answered the message; messengers will be asked if they delivered it. Everyone has a role.
Fact: In Al-Ma'idah 5:109, messengers are asked how people responded.
Ages 5–8: My job. Talk about your jobs at home and how you'll explain them.
Ages 9–12: Responsibility. Write what you will be asked about.
Finish with: "Both people and ___ will be questioned."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will do my jobs well."
Action: Do your jobs well.
