Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell?- wherein they shall dwell. That is the supreme disgrace.

4-I guide
Don't they know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger will have the Fire of Hell, staying there forever, and that this is the great disgrace?
Start with bismillah.
Ask: "What happens when someone ignores every warning?"
Play the short clip from Daily listen Quran of Mishary Alafasy reciting ayat 62–68 of At-Tawbah.
Now listen to the ayah together in the app, with the translation. Ask: "What is the great disgrace?"
Each child keeps one wonder question, for example: "Why does Allah give warnings?" Younger children can draw theirs.
Find it in the mushaf: Surah At-Tawbah is surah 9. Find ayah 63. This ayah warns, in one calm line, of the result of opposing Allah and His Messenger. Allah warns because He is merciful and wants people to change before it's too late.
Fact: Why a lifeguard warns swimmers before danger. Warnings show care.
Ages 5–8: Warning signs. Find safety signs around your home or street.
Ages 9–12: Warnings show care. Write why Allah's warnings are a mercy.
Finish with: "Allah warns us because He is ___."
Talk together:
Make a small plan: "This week, I will listen to warnings from my parents."
Action: Listen to warnings from your parents.
