What this song is about

The halfway ten. Al-Muhaymin guards us all, keeping safe both big and small, and then three names about making: Al-Bari' made every creature and every wing, Al-Musawwir shapes each face, giving all its form and grace. Al-Ghaffar forgives once more, opening the mercy door. Al-Aliyy is high above and Al-Azim is great; Al-Muqit gives food to grow. It ends on praise and life — Al-Hamid deserves our praise, Al-Muhyi gives life and days, Al-Jalil shining pure and bright — and on the count: fifty done.

Questions parents ask

Which of Allah's names does Part 5 teach?

Al-Muhaymin, Al-Bari', Al-Musawwir, Al-Ghaffar, Al-Aliyy, Al-Azim, Al-Muqit, Al-Hamid, Al-Muhyi and Al-Jalil — names forty-one to fifty, the halfway mark of the ninety-nine.

What is the difference between Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari' and Al-Musawwir?

The songs give each of the three a picture. Part 1 has Al-Khaliq, who made the earth and sky. This part adds Al-Bari', who made every creature and every wing, and Al-Musawwir, who shapes each face and gives it its form. Hearing them across the two parts is how children usually pick up that the three belong together. Read more →
