فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيْهِم بِعِلْمٍۢ ۖ وَمَا كُنَّا غَآئِبِينَ
Falanaquṣṣanna ʻalay'him biʻil'min . wamā kunnā ghā'ibīna
And verily, We shall recount their whole story with knowledge, for We were never absent (at any time or place).

4-I guide
Allah will tell them everything they did with full knowledge, for He was never absent.
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "Is there anywhere Allah is not watching?"
Put on a reciter's Al-A'raf from di. batam view and follow along for a little while.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What will Allah tell them?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "How does knowing Allah was always there help us?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah Al-A'raf is surah 7. Find ayah 7. Allah saw and knew everything people did. On the Day, He will tell them all of it. This helps us remember Allah sees us everywhere.
Fact: The Name ash-Shahid: the Witness.
Ages 5–8: Allah sees. Name places where Allah sees you.
Ages 9–12: Witness. Write what ash-Shahid means.
Finish with: "Allah was never ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will remember Allah sees me."
Action: Remember Allah sees you.
