B Watch me, then you4 min

Ali reads about a king with a big army and a rich treasury. The king says his power will last forever. Is he right?

A stone palace with a tall dome at sunset, with no people

Watch me

A human king's power comes from armies and wealth.

That power is borrowed, so it can end.

Al-Malik's power never ends and needs nothing.

Say it out loud: How are Al-Malik and Al-Quddus part of the Asma-ul-Husna, and what does each Name tell us about Allah?

For the grown-up

Al-Malik and Al-Quddus · 2 minutes to read

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. Salah

2. Zakah If your child circles Sawm, remind them that Sawm is fasting in Ramadan, not giving money. Zakah is the money pillar.

3. Qur'an

B

1. Look for: Something other than armies or wealth that a human ruler's power depends on, such as laws, land, taxes, allies or support from people. If your child writes that the king is strong, ask what makes him strong. Look for something outside the king himself.

2. No

C

1. Al-Malik → The Sovereign King; Al-Quddus → The Perfectly Holy; Asma-ul-Husna → The Most Beautiful Names

2. Allah: Needs nothing to rule, Free from every flaw · Human ruler: Power can end, Depends on an army

3. Al-Quddus If your child circles Al-Malik, ask what Al-Malik means. It means The Sovereign King. Holy is the word for Al-Quddus.

4. False If your child circles True, ask which Name means King. Al-Malik is the Sovereign King, and Al-Quddus means perfectly holy.

D

1. Look for: Asma-ul-Husna means all the Names together, and Al-Malik is one Name in the group meaning The Sovereign King. Kit has mixed up a whole group with one member of it. Ask your child how a group and one of its members are different.

E

1. Look for: Allah is perfectly holy and free from every flaw, so His judgement is untouched by bias, selfishness or error and is fully just.

Words to use

Say“Which Name is this, and what does its meaning tell us about Allah?”

Instead of“Just learn the Arabic words off by heart without asking what they mean.”

After the sheet

At the kitchen table, ask your child to name things a king or leader needs to keep power. Then ask whose power would still last if all of them were taken away, and why.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
