What this song is about
The ninth ten, and the weightiest of them — names about power held gently. Al-Qahhar is the strongest One, nothing's hard once He says done, and Al-Qabid holds back with care, giving always what is fair. Al-Khafid keeps us humble and sweet; Al-Mudhill shows the humble way. Al-Mumit brings us home to stay and Al-Ba'ith wakes us on that Day, while Al-Mu'akhkhir knows what's best. It ends safe: Al-Mani' keeps us from harm, Ad-Darr holds all so stay calm, and Al-Muntaqim sets all things right — justice gentle, love so bright. Ninety done, nine to go.
Questions parents ask
Which of Allah's names does Part 9 teach?
Al-Qahhar, Al-Qabid, Al-Khafid, Al-Mudhill, Al-Mumit, Al-Ba'ith, Al-Mu'akhkhir, Al-Mani', Ad-Darr and Al-Muntaqim — names eighty-one to ninety.
Why does this part end with nine more to come instead of ten?
Because ninety and ten would be a hundred. Every other part counts off ten and promises ten more; this one gets to ninety, so the last part carries the remaining nine. Read more →
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 →
