What is The Beautiful Names of Allah 2 about?
The Beautiful Names of Allah 2 is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 9: the second collection of rhyming poems that explain Allah's names through a child's everyday life.
In Al-Baseer, the All-Seeing, a hungry child creeps into the quiet kitchen to take Mum's hidden chocolate bar, is caught, and the cat pounces on the prize. The child says sorry and learns that Allah sees everything. In Al-Ghaffar, the Great Forgiver, a child pushes a brother off the slide, drops a banana under the lunch table and floods the bathroom, and each time learns to ask Allah's forgiveness. In Al-Hadi, the Guide, a family lost in the mountain mist, a child lost in a shop and a kitten stuck under the floorboards are all found after a prayer to Al-Hadi.
In As-Saboor, the Patient One, a child who cannot swim a stroke and crashes a new bike learns to wait and keep trying, until one day it all comes right. In As-Salaam, the Source of Peace, a worrier imagines monsters, pirates and tigers, and finds peace each time in a whispered prayer.
Each poem has a chorus to join in with. Together they give children words to use when they have done wrong, feel lost, want to give up or are full of worries. The collection is a Miraj original, part of The Beautiful Names of Allah series of poems for children.
