Preface

The benefits of getting to know all the names of Allah [SWT] by heart is tremendous.Learning and remembering Allah's Names/Attributes might become tedious at times. Wethought of simplifying this process through children's stories in a series of 7 books. Day to-day activities were spun along in the stories to make children and elders remember theevents easily thereby facilitating the understanding of the attributes of Allah [SWT] andalso to get it itched in their memory in a natural way.

One Friday morning, there was a heavy rain in the town, little boy Imran was seeing

the rain through the window in his room. Mother Khadeejah kept calling him from the

living room but Imran didnt respond. So, she came to his room to see what Imran was

doing. On seeing him so grooved with the rain, she patted on his back.

Khadeejah smiled and asked him Do you want to know something special about the

rain? He nodded his head.

Do you like

rain, my son?

Yes mom, I like it very much,

its real fun to play in the rain

but I fear catching cold

Imran asked But from where does Allah gives this much?

Khadeejah answered, Allah [SWT] is The Absolute

Ruler, Al-Malik. He has absolute control over all

things. Also everything belongs to him. To create

something, he just says 'Be' and it gets created

instantly. He abundantly gives to his slaves to make

sure that they live a life without any difficulty.

Also Allah [SWT] gives rain water in its purest form

and made it available to all without any cost, it has theability to change even the nature of salty water throughyears. From everything we have a learning, on seeingrain remind yourselves that Allah is Al-QuddusThePure Oneno one can corrupt him and He is the sourceof all goodness.

While they were talking, Sister Hana came into the room saying Salam to both of

them. Imran and Khadeejah returned their greetings.

Khadeejah emphasized that greeting one another is asunnah which one should never miss for Allah [SWT]himself is As-SalamThe Source of Peace.

As-Salamu alaykum

Imran started the game but Hana was pocketing the basket

more times than her brother until half time. Imran looked

dejected, seeing this Khadeejah encouraged Imran sayingDont lose hope, Allah [SWT] is Al-Muhaymin The

Guardian, he will not let you down.

Next day evening, Imran and Hana were playing basketball in the backyard. Each onewill have 10 chances, whoever pockets the maximum will be the winner. Khadeejahwas the scorer for the game.

Mom said Dont worry Imran, have faith in Allah [SWT] and target the basket, you willperform well Insha Allah because Allah [SWT] is Al-MuminThe Inspirer of Faith.His help is always there for us".

Mom,everytime I

play this game

Now, Imran gained some confidence and was able to pocket more this time. He

emerged victorious. Khadeejah reminded him ofAllahs mercy for his victory.She said

Allah himself is Al-AzizThe Victoriousand gives victory to those who believe in

him and work hard.

Now its Hanas turn to become sad for losing the game. Khadeejah consoled her

saying Dont worry, Hana, this is just a game. Pray to Allah [SWT] to fix your mistakes

and to perform well the next time as Allah [SWT] is Al-JabbarThe CompellerHerepairs all mistakes.

Khadeejah reminded both of them that Allah may not give success or failure to the

same person always but gives it alternatively to remind his creations to remain humbleduring success and not to lose hope during failure establishing his Majesty as He is

Al-MutakabbirThe Ma estic.

They started a new game, this time Hana was able to score more than her brother.She was so happy that Allah [SWT] has given her success this time.

Suddenly, it started to drizzle. The kids ran to an umbrella to avoid getting wet.

While they were waiting, Imran noticed rainbow in the sky and with excitement he

told his sister and his mom. Hana was so thrilled to realize her dream of seeing a

rainbow. Both the kids loved it.

Rainbow is an example of Allahs [SWT] beautiful design

as he is Al-MusawirThe Shaper of Beauty.Whatever

he creates he does it beautifully

The drizzle stopped and the kids started to play in the dashing waves. Hana keptwondering about the nature of these waves which kept hitting the shore without any

rest and shared her thought with her mother.


13/18

Hearing this, Khadeejah told My child, we have a learning from these waves. We

should be consistent like these waves in asking for repentance from Allah [SWT] to

wash away ours sins and sincerely believe that Allah [SWT] will forgive us as he is

Al-GhaffarThe Forgiving.

Al-Ghaffar

The ForgivingThe One who is always

ready to forgive

Mom how does the sun go away

and moon come correctly at night?

Khadeejah replied Allah [SWT] is Al-Qahhar TheSubduerHe made sun and moon to follow certain timeline

and they obey it with no deviation. Similarly ocean with thismuch water stays within its limits, the sky stays above andso on.

Al-Qahhar

The SubduerThe One who has the

perfect power and is not

unable overanything

Imran acknowledged Allahs mightiness. As it was getting late, all three of themstarted back to home.
