Teach the 99 Names of Allah to children through PLAY!

If we can do nothing else as parents, we must teach our children to know Allah.

Learning about the 99 names of Allah connects the hearts of children to their Lord. It helps them to develop a better understanding of Him and their own place in this world. And what better way to teach children than through gentle, play-based activities!

The more you know Allah, the more you will love Him.
Imam Al-Ghazali

I was delighted to be introduced to the Beautiful Names of Allah Memory Game by Faithful Kids. My children and I have enjoyed playing this game together and learning the 99 Names of Allah as we play!

99 Names of Allah Children’s Game

This beautiful box contain 3 colour-coded sets of cards, with each set making the game progressively more difficult. The cards are printed on thick high-quality card and designed with elegant geometric patterns. The name itself is clearly printed in Arabic, along with a transliteration and translation.

I really loved that they include a small A4 poster of the 99 Names of Allah and a thoughtfully written pamphlet showing you how to play the various games.

How to Play the Memory Game

The idea of the game is simple enough for children as young as 4 year-old to understand! My little girl certainly enjoyed playing!

Simply place the cards face down on the table and take turns to find the matching pairs. As each player turns over a card, they must read that card aloud to the group. This helps other players to know which cards are where, and helps with the memorisation of the Asma-ul-Husna. The winner is the player to find the most matching pairs.

Other ways children can use them

In our homeschool, these cards have become a regular part of our morning routine!

We use them as flashcards, each day revising the names previously learnt, and selecting the next card to memorise. I hope in this way, we will be able to memorise all 99 Names of Allah by the end of the year insha’Allah.

Since these cards are so beautiful, I’m planning to display them on my wall. Each time a new name is learnt by the children, we will stick it up on display.

We play the memory game for a special treat a few times a week, enjoying our time together, whilst also revising the Blessed names we have learnt.
