What this song is about
The eighth ten, and the one about how Allah is both far above and right here. Al-Mutakabbir is higher than the moon and sun and Al-Muqtadir rules every day and hour, while Az-Zahir is so clear to see, in each flower, bird and tree. Al-Batin is hidden, near; Al-Muta'ali high and dear; Al-Majid kind and grand, glory shining close at hand. It ends on beginnings — An-Nafi' helps and heals, Al-Badi' reveals new wonder, and Al-Mubdi' begins each thing, starting every living spring. Eighty done.
Questions parents ask
Which of Allah's names does Part 8 teach?
Al-Mutakabbir, Al-Muqtadir, Al-Muqaddim, Az-Zahir, Al-Batin, Al-Muta'ali, Al-Majid, An-Nafi', Al-Badi' and Al-Mubdi' — names seventy-one to eighty.
What do Az-Zahir and Al-Batin mean?
The song sets them one after the other on purpose: Az-Zahir, so clear to see, in each flower, bird and tree — and then Al-Batin is hidden, near. Children meet them as a pair, 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 →
