Names of Allah: Al Haq

Names of Allah: Al Haq is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children learn about Al-Haqq, the Truth, one of the beautiful names of Allah.

What colour is the sky? If the Sheikh told the children it was pink, would he be telling the truth? No, he would be lying. And what is the opposite of lying? Telling the truth. Allah is Al-Haqq: He always tells the truth, and He is the complete and absolute Truth. So what Allah tells us is true: that Muslims pray five times a day, that we fast in Ramadan, and that lying is haram.

In story time, one of the children tells the story of Prophet Musa (AS) and Fir'awn. Musa went to Egypt with his brother Harun (AS) and showed Fir'awn his miracles: his hand came out shining white, and his staff became a snake. Fir'awn called his best magicians, who threw down their ropes and sticks, and they looked like slithering snakes. But Musa's staff swallowed up everything they had made. The magicians saw the truth and fell down in prostration to Allah. Fir'awn was furious and threatened to punish them, but they held on to their faith.

Then the family talks about protection from Shaytan at night, and one of the children recites Ayatul Kursi from memory. They remember to seek refuge in Allah before reading the Qur'an. And how many levels are there in Jannah? A hundred, and the children all want the highest one.

• Surah Ta-Ha 20:65-73: The magicians throw their ropes and staffs, Musa's staff swallows what they made, and the magicians fall down in prostration, believing in Allah despite Fir'awn's threats.
• Surah Al-A'raf 7:107-108: Musa throws his staff and it becomes a snake, and draws out his hand and it is white for all to see.
• Surah Al-Hajj 22:62: That is because Allah is the Truth (Al-Haqq).
• Surah An-Nahl 16:98: When you recite the Qur'an, seek refuge in Allah from Shaytan, the rejected one.
