What is Names of Allah: Al Mujeeb about?
Names of Allah: Al Mujeeb is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Sheikh Azhari and his children learn about Al-Mujeeb, the One who answers, one of the beautiful names of Allah.
Al-Mujeeb means the One who responds: if you ask Allah for something, He answers. The Sheikh says this name comes in the Qur'an in the story of Prophet Salih (AS), and one of the children tells it. Salih called his people to Allah. Allah sent them a she-camel as a sign (tafsir books tell that they had asked for one to come out of the rock), but they still did not believe, and they killed her.
Salih's people also mocked him and called him names. Is it good to call people names? No, says the youngest child, so we should never call anyone bad names or make fun of them.
How many Muslims are there in the world? The children guess 10,000, 1,100 and infinity. The Sheikh tells them there are well over a billion. If they all made dua at the same moment, could Allah answer every one? Yes, because He is Al-Mujeeb.
When is the best time to make dua? The children know: the last part of the night before Fajr, when the Prophet ﷺ said Allah answers those who call on Him; on Friday; and in Ramadan.
And what do the children ask Allah for? Cookies, Transformers and a Kindle. One of them made dua for a Kindle before Eid, and got one. Allah hears every dua and answers it in the way that is best for us: sometimes what we asked, sometimes something better, sometimes later.
