99 Names Project

This year as a countdown to Ramadan we were inspired by @kitabkids to reflect on a name of Allah a day. My children are 4.5 and 2, so I have kept things simple and fun. I followed their lead during discussions of each name and the conversations often went in many directions.

As we have been working through this 99 names project at times it has been difficult to find the best way to explain each name. This has forced me to reflect on what I want my children to take away from these activities.

I realize that I do not expect my children to learn or even remember these 99 names through this project, rather it is a way for us, as a family, to consciously spend time in our day reflecting on and remembering Allah and His many blessings. It has been incredible to share these wonderful names of Allah with my children and both myself and my children are learning so much through this process.

Below are images for the crafts we did for each name of Allah. To learn more about some of the discussions we had around each name, please visit our instagram page. (Linked here)
