'Al-Aleem' is one of the 99 Names of Allah. The meaning of Al-Aleem is 'The All-Knowing'.
Allah calls Himself Al-Aleem -
The All-Knowing, The Omniscient in the Holy Quran. Only He knows the minutest details of all things hidden and manifest. His Knowledge is complete, perfect and comprehends the past, present, and the future.T
he best gift we can give our children is the knowledge of Tawheed, to know their God. Knowing Allah by His names will help establish their roots and help them attach to their Creator out of love of His perfection.Allah Al-Aleem book
gives the exposure to the one the many attributes of the Creator. This book is suitable for children of 3 years and above.Nowadays, children are becoming smarter and intelligent and pose millions of questions on whatever they see and what all they hear. Well, children are naturally curious and are tend to ask so many questions. We elders try to answer them as much as we can, while sometimes we fall short. It is hard to satisfy the young minds with our answers.
Like say for instance, How many creatures live under the ground? How many leaves fall from the tree? Mostly we manage to engage them with some sort of stories or sometimes, we try to teach them science and nature or many times, we just give a short reply. As much as the detailed answers we give,
we also should keep in mind that it is our duty to make them aware that only the Creator knows the best. And that is exactly what the book is all about.However, I feel not alone replying the kids 'Allah knows' is enough, but if we add that with relevant information, that will certainly ignite their little minds. And I believe that would be more appropriate for them to learn. But of course, Allah knows the best.
This little book introduces the young reader to the name Al-Aleem in an easy to follow, colorful way. Illustrations are rich in colors and the writing short and thoughtful.
It is parents’ responsibilities to introduce their children to Allah’s names and attributes and engage their little minds with good lessons. The author has beautifully connected universal signs with the name
العليم and along with it, she has also given the answers, in order to give certainty in their belief like, ‘We can guess the rain, but only Allah knows.’
The Allah Al-Aleem book is short, sweet and colorful. It gives children, a beautiful introduction to their Creator's one of the many qualities.
Jumma Mubarak! Happy Friday!
