99 Names of Allah: Memorize the 99 Names of Allah and Their Meanings (Paperback or Softback)

Fear and Hope are the most powerful emotions that drive decision making. Most of us grow without knowing how to regulate these crucial emotions. Knowing Allah through His attributes helps to know of Allah’s power and mercy. Knowing and believing in Allah through his attributes reminds that there is no reason for despair even in times of trials and turbulences. This is so crucial in a world where our kids are presented with new challenges every day. It is essential that kids grow knowing how to ground themselves enough to regulate their emotions and navigate through life with Allah’s mercy in mind.

Most kids learn the 99 Names of Allah through a nasheed (chants). This alone does not help them to get to know the attributes enough to impact on one’s own fear and hope. To live by the Names of Allah means to have one’s decision making guided by Allah’s attributes, and this requires a lot more than chants.

This is only a step towards learning the deeper meanings of the attributes.
