Questions parents ask

What do the six phrases in this song mean?

Alhamdulillah — all praise is for Allah. InshaAllah — if Allah wills. SubhanAllah — glory be to Allah. MashaAllah — what Allah has willed. Bismillah — in the name of Allah. Astaghfirullah — I seek forgiveness from Allah. Read more →

When do you say MashaAllah instead of SubhanAllah?

The song draws the line for you. SubhanAllah is for something amazing — “sun and moon that never fade”. MashaAllah is for something lovely — “a cute baby, a kind friend”. Both turn a compliment toward the One who made it.

What does Astaghfirullah mean?

“I seek forgiveness from Allah.” It is what a Muslim says to ask Allah’s pardon, and the song teaches it as the phrase for when you want to say sorry.
