What this song is about
The sixth ten, and the first past halfway. Al-Basit opens wide His hand, giving gifts across the land, and Ar-Rafi' lifts us up so high. Al-Mu'izz gives honor, and Al-Hasib is all we need, counting every word and deed. Ar-Raqib watches day and night while Ash-Shahid sees all things right, and Al-Haqq is real, forever true. It ends strong: Al-Qawiyy full of might, Al-Matin standing firm and tight, and Al-Jami' gathering one and all, bringing close both great and small. Sixty done.
Questions parents ask
Which of Allah's names does Part 6 teach?
Al-Basit, Ar-Rafi', Al-Mu'izz, Al-Hasib, Ar-Raqib, Ash-Shahid, Al-Haqq, Al-Qawiyy, Al-Matin and Al-Jami' — names fifty-one to sixty, the first ten past the halfway mark.
What is the difference between Ar-Raqib and Ash-Shahid?
The song gives them one line between them: Ar-Raqib watches day and night, Ash-Shahid sees all things right. Children meet the two as a pair here, in the same breath, which is how this part teaches them.
Is there a crossword for these ten names?
Yes. It uses the same ten names this jingle sings, and its clues are the song's own lines. Singing it through first turns the puzzle into remembering rather than guessing. Read more →
