What this song is about
The third ten, and the gentlest of them. Al-Aziz is strong and Al-Qadir can do all things, but most of this part is about being met kindly: Al-Wakil is the One we trust, Al-Mujib hears when we pray, Al-Afuww wipes wrongs away and At-Tawwab welcomes us each day. Al-Halim is calm and slow, patient love to help us grow. It finishes with Al-Hayy and Al-Qayyum — living, never gone, keeping all going on — and Al-Ghani, who needs nothing and gives from an endless store.
Questions parents ask
Which of Allah's names does Part 3 teach?
Al-Aziz, Al-Qadir, Al-Wakil, Al-Mujib, Al-Afuww, At-Tawwab, Al-Halim, Al-Hayy, Al-Qayyum and Al-Ghani — names twenty-one to thirty.
What is the difference between Al-Afuww and At-Tawwab?
The song gives each its own line: Al-Afuww wipes wrongs away, and At-Tawwab welcomes us each day. Children usually meet the two together, which is how this part teaches them — side by side, in the same verse.
Which part should a child sing after this one?
Part 4, which carries the count on to forty. It picks up the same gentle names from a different side: Al-Barr is kind to creatures great and small, and As-Sabur never rushes me or you. Read more →
