What this song is about
Ten more of Allah's names, the ones about greatness and knowing. Al-Malik is the King, ruler over everything, and Al-Quddus is perfect as perfect can be. Al-Karim and Al-Wahhab give; Al-Alim knows all we do and Al-Hakim is wise with it. An-Nur is the beautiful light and Al-Hadi guides us day and night. It closes on Ash-Shakur, who loves when we say thank you Allah, every day — and on the count: twenty done.
Questions parents ask
Which of Allah's names does Part 2 teach?
Al-Malik, Al-Quddus, Al-Karim, Al-Wahhab, Al-Alim, Al-Hakim, Al-Latif, An-Nur, Al-Hadi and Ash-Shakur — names eleven to twenty of the ninety-nine.
What does Ash-Shakur mean?
The Most Appreciative. The song puts it the way a child would: Ash-Shakur loves when we say, thank you Allah, every day.
Do the parts have to be learned in order?
No. Each part is its own ten names and stands alone, and children often start with whichever tune they like best. The counting line at the end of each one — twenty done, thirty done — is there so they can hear where they are, not as a rule. Read more →
