How do I simplify the concept of the Day of Judgment for children?

The question

Could you please share some information or books that help simplify how we talk about the Day of Judgment for children — especially the story of the People of the Ditch for 3, 4, and 5 year olds?

Or how to explain the meaning of the verse "Master of the Day of Recompense"?

Our answer

May Allah preserve you and bless you. I haven't come across a specific reference for this, but I believe you can do it yourself by building a simplified picture of the concepts: good and evil, truth and falsehood, the stories of the Prophets. Use our library on the channel for the prophet stories, and the tafsir cards there as well.
