About “The beautiful names of Allah”

At the top of the page is a game: a meaning appears and the child picks the name it describes from four names. Below are cards with each name and a short explanation for little ones.

Knowing Allah's names brings a child closer to their Lord: knowing that Allah is “the All-Hearing” (As-Sami'), they call on Him with confidence, and knowing He is “the Provider” (Ar-Razzaq), they thank Him for their food. We chose well-known, authentic names with simple explanations.
