HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Assalamo 'alaykum.I first compiled "30 Days with the Names of Allah" in 2017 and made it availableon my previous blog (Islamic Bedtime Stories). This workbook is the secondinstalment: 30 MORE days and 30 MORE beautiful Names of Allah to learn about. I designed it to be a resource simple enough to be flexible: primary school agedchildren, older kids and even adults can benefit. It would be a good resource fornew Muslims. Each page features a different reflection questions at the end; these can beanswered briefly in the space available, used as writing prompts or provide auseful starter for meaningful conversations with the whole family, in sha'Allah. The texts of the proofs (ayaat and ahadeeth) are collected at the end, wherememorisation can be tracked. I initially conceived it to be completed in Ramadan (1 Name per day) but none ofthe activities in it are specific to Ramadan, so it can be used at any time. I askAllah to benefit my family and yours through this humble effort. You can share, print and distribute this resource as you want, however pleasenote the following: You may NOT claim this as your own work, change it, remove my logo/websitename, or SELL the workbook (alone or as part of a subscription) or in any way

make money from it.

Does Allah have a face?

Some say no, becauseotherwise Allah wouldbe like His creatures.

CORRECT:You cannot deny what

the Qur'an says

WRONG: it denies what Allah

Some people explain "face"to mean something else, but

there is no proof for that.

CORRECT:Face means face!

yourselves there is the Face of Allah [surah al-Baqarah 2:115]
