GETTING TO KNOW ALLAH

Through His Names and Attributes

idiatou
This journal belongs to: ___________________________
Assalam alaikum. In this book, we will learn about some of the names and
attributes of Allah (SWT) that He has given Himself or described Himself
with in the Quran. It is important that we learn about Allah because by
learning about Him, we will grow to love Him.
This book is meant to be completed slowly. Take your time and really try to
understand what each name means. Reflect on how that affects your life
and make changes every day based on what you learn. Use the names of
Allah in your prayers, in your du’aa, and teach it to others.
The language used is meant to be simple enough that young children can
complete the exercises, but beneficial for everyone inshallah. If you are an
adult, please do not stop learning about Allah when you finish this book as
we have only presented some of the names and attributes here. Parents
should help their children try to understand the concepts if their children
struggle with some of the meanings.
This book is being written for the sake of Allah. Please contact me if you
see any errors and I will hasten to fix those. You may redistribute this book
freely as long as you do not charge for it.
