The Beautiful Names of Allah - Learning Through Tales
Masallarla Akaid5 minages 3-8
Allah’s name Al-Muhsi teaches that He knows every number, including our good deeds and breaths.
What the tale is about
A narrator counting a treasure of seashells keeps losing track when Mestan, a playful cat, interrupts with a jump and a game. Starting over leads to thoughts about the 999 beads on Grandmother’s prayer beads, Grandfather’s 99 sets of 99 beads, and the countless stars, fish, flowers, raindrops, and grains of sand in creation. Who could know all these numbers? The story introduces Allah’s name Al-Muhsi, the One who knows the number of everything, including good deeds and breaths. It ends with a prayer about generous giving and following the Prophet’s example.
