Surah Al-Fatiha
The Opener: 7 verses in Arabic with transliteration and meaning.
In Al-Kafirun, the Prophet is told to say clearly: I do not worship what you worship. It ends with “For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.” Six short verses about being clear and firm in worshipping Allah alone.
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ
qul yāayyuhā l-kāfirūna
Say, "O disbelievers,
لَآ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
lā aʿbudu mā taʿbudūna
I do not worship what you worship.
وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ
walā antum ʿābidūna mā aʿbudu
Nor are you worshippers of what I worship.
وَلَآ أَنَا۠ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ
walā anā ʿābidun mā ʿabadttum
Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship.
وَلَآ أَنتُمْ عَـٰبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ
walā antum ʿābidūna mā aʿbudu
Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship.
لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ
lakum dīnukum waliya dīni
For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."

A believer worships Allah only, and says so clearly (verses 1 to 5).
The surah is clear without being angry: each person is responsible for their own religion (verse 6).
Children learn what Muslims believe and why we don't worship anything else.
Verses 2 to 5 repeat with small changes. Point out the differences so your child doesn't mix them up.
Recite slowly together until the order of the verses feels natural.
Explain that we are clear about our faith and still kind to everyone.
