A Look back3 min

1.
The five pillars of Islam go round this cycle. One is missing. Circle the missing pillar.

3.

B Watch me, then you4 min

Ali's teacher writes Al-Hafiz on the board. Watch how we find out what this Name means.

Watch me

Al-Hafiz is one of the 99 Names of Allah.

Hafiz means one who keeps something safe.

So Al-Hafiz means the Protector, the One who keeps all safe.

Now you

1.
Al-Wakil is one of Allah's Names. Circle what it means.
the One we rely onthe One who createsthe One who forgives
2.
Al-Hafiz means the Protector. Write one thing that Allah keeps safe.

C Your turn8 min

Al-Muhaymin is the Guardian. He watches over all of creation and nothing escapes Him. Al-Aziz is the Mighty One. No one can ever defeat Him. Look for the word that tells you which Name to pick.

Lamps hanging in a quiet masjid courtyard at dawn

1.
Which Name means the One whose power nothing can overcome? Circle it.
Al-MuhayminAl-AzizAr-Rahman
2.
Which Name means the One who watches over every creature and misses nothing? Circle it.
Al-AzizAl-MuhayminAl-Wakil
3.
Sort these meanings under the right Name.
Watches over every creatureCannot be overcomeMisses nothingPower nothing can diminish
Al-Muhaymin Al-Aziz
4.
Write one sentence. Tawakkul means trusting Allah. How might tawakkul help someone who feels unsafe, knowing Al-Muhaymin watches over them?

Say it out loud: Which word in the question told you the answer? Say the Name and its meaning out loud.

D Spot the mistake3 min

Two lamps side by side in a masjid, one lit and one unlit

Kit says: “Al-Aziz means Allah watches over everything, so it is just another word for Al-Muhaymin.”

1.
What does Al-Aziz really mean? Write one sentence.

E Think deeper4 min

Take your time. There is no single right sentence.

1.
Write two or three sentences. A guard who watches but is weak cannot keep you safe. Why does it matter that Allah is both Al-Muhaymin and Al-Aziz?

How did it feel?

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. Sawm your child may have picked a practice that is not one of the five pillars. Say the five pillars in order together, then find the gap.

2. Shahadah → Saying the declaration of faith; Salah → Prayer five times a day; Sawm → Fasting in Ramadan If your child joined Salah to fasting, ask which one happens five times a day. Salah is prayer, Sawm is fasting.

3. Jibril (AS) your child may have picked a prophet instead of the angel. Musa (AS) and Ibrahim (AS) were prophets. Ask who carried the message from Allah.

B

1. the One we rely on your child may have chosen the meaning of a different Name. Read the Name again and ask which meaning is about trust.

2. Look for: A person, family, creature, or part of creation that Allah keeps safe. If your child writes something Allah does not keep safe, ask what the Protector would do for it.

C

1. Al-Aziz your child may have picked the Name about watching. Al-Muhaymin is the Watchful Guardian. Al-Aziz is about power.

2. Al-Muhaymin your child may have picked a Name about power or trust. Ask which word in the question is about watching. Al-Muhaymin watches over all and misses nothing.

3. Al-Aziz: Cannot be overcome, Power nothing can diminish · Al-Muhaymin: Watches over every creature, Misses nothing If a card is in the wrong column, ask your child whether the card is about watching or about power.

4. Look for: A sentence that uses the word tawakkul and links trusting Allah to feeling safe or protected.

D

1. Look for: Al-Aziz means the Mightily Invincible or power that cannot be overcome, which is different from watching over all. your child may have joined two Names into one. Ask which Name is about watching and which is about power.

E

1. Look for: Explains that Allah both sees everything (Al-Muhaymin) and cannot be overcome (Al-Aziz), so His protection is complete.

Words to use

Say“Which Name is about watching, and which is about power? How do you know?”

Instead of“Tell them the meanings and move straight on.”

After the sheet

At dinner, each person names one thing that keeps them safe, then says which Name of Allah it reminds them of.
