1. Teach One Name at a Time
Children don’t need to memorise all 99 at once. Teaching one name per week is far more effective and calming for both parent and child.
Choose a name such as Al-Khaliq or Ar-Rahman and explore its meaning through stories, crafts, nature, or colouring.
Slow learning often creates the deepest understanding.
🌿 2. Connect Each Name to Real Life
Children grasp ideas best when linked to something they can see or feel.
Examples:
- Al-Khaliq → the sky, animals, flowers
- Ar-Razzaq → the food they enjoy
- Al-Malik → crowns, responsibility, leadership
- Al-Ghafoor → moments of forgiveness
This makes the Names of Allah feel personal and relateable.
🌿 3. Use Visual, High-Impact Resources
Visual learning helps children remember the meanings behind the Names of Allah.
Inside Primary Ilm, you’ll find:
- All About Allah (9 pages)
- Allah Made Everything booklet
- Allah the Nurturer ebook
- AL-Malik crown activity
- 99 Names of Allah booklet
- Full-page 99 Names of Allah PDF poster
- Who is Allah? colouring book
These resources make lessons visual, memorable, and child-friendly.
(Available under Resources → Five Pillars)
🌿 4. Use Stories to Bring the Names Alive
Stories from daily life or from the Prophets help children understand Allah’s attributes emotionally.
Examples:
- Al-Malik through stories of kings
- Al-Ghaffar through forgiving others
- Al-Qawiyy through stories of courage
Stories always stick.
5. Let Children Be Creative
Hands-on activities are powerful — decorating, drawing, building.
Try:
- designing a crown for Al-Malik
- drawing creation for Al-Khaliq
- decorating hearts for Ar-Rahman
- colouring nature scenes
This turns learning into an experience rather than memorisation.
6. Repetition Through Daily Language
Use each name throughout the week:
- “Allah is Ar-Razzaq — He gave us this food.”
- “Allah is Al-Hafeedh — He keeps us safe.”
- “Allah is Al-Ghafoor — He loves when we say sorry.”
These little reminders build a strong spiritual foundation.
