4. 1 Look carefully at one natural thing · 2 Notice its shape and colour · 3 Think of Al-Khaliq or Al-Musawwir · 4 Thank Allah for what you see If Thank comes first, they have thanked Allah before looking. Ask what they looked at first, then what they noticed about it.

D

1. Look for: Says only Allah creates from nothing and that people only shape or rearrange things that already exist. If they agree with Kit, they may be mixing up making and shaping. Ask: what did the wood come from, and who made it first?

E

1. Look for: Names one thing from nature, picks Al-Khaliq or Al-Musawwir, and gives a reason about Allah creating or shaping it.

Words to use

Say“Which name fits best, and what did you notice that made you think of it?”

Instead of“Read them the names and ask them to copy the meanings out.”

After the sheet

Take a leaf or a stone outside, look at it for one minute, then say which name of Allah fits it and why.
