6. Walk and See
Whenever you walk

Khaliq

everything that is, was, or will
be.

plants, insects, mountains, seas.
Allah is the creator of
everything.

8. Allah is my Rabb

around and that which we do not see
• (like Angels and other creatures, the
Jinns)
• Allah created the Angels from light, and
Allah created the Jinns from fire.

11. Everything Allah creates has a purpose.

12. We must thank Him for all of that, and we love Him for all of that. We
love Him, because He created us and gave us many things. We love
Him, because He made us Muslims

13. LOVE ALLAH

Merciful, and the Most Just.

everything.

everything. He has the Most beautiful Face, but none is like Him, the
Most High.

14. What do we mean when we say we love Allah?
• When we say we Love Allah an we
love Islam it really means that we
follow what Allah tells us to follow,
and what his messenger Muhammad
‫ﷺ‬ tells us to follow.
• We keep away from what Allah and
his Messenger tell us to keep away
from.
• This is the meaning of true love. We
simply following this way will bring
the love of Allah.

15. HADITH
Narrated Abu Huraira, the Prophet ‫ﷺ‬ said,: “Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e.,
one hundred minus one, and whoever 'ahsaha' [enumerates them, believes in
them, ponders their meanings, worships Allah by them and supplicates with
them, and acts by them according to one's belief in them] will enter Paradise”.
This Hadith urges us to consider carefully, ponder over, memorize and learn the
Names of Allah, so that we can benefit from their great meanings, gain Khushu`
(the heart being submissively attuned to the act of worship), obey Allah and fulfill
our duty towards Him(Glorified and Exalted be He). Anyone who memorizes the
Names of Allah, fulfills their duties towards Him, and shuns the major sins will be
admitted to Jannah [Sahih Muslim and Bukhari 8:419]

16. Al-Ahad:
• The Unique.
• The One Who is Alone and
Unique in every sense.
• The One Alone in His
Oneness, in His Self, and His
Attributes. Alone in His
Divinity.

17. Al-Baseer:
• The All-Seeing.
• The One Who sees everything, such that nothing whatsoever is
hidden from Him.

18. Ar-Razzaaq:
• The Great Provider.
• The One Who provides extensively
for the whole of creation, whatever
they need.
• And Who also provides the provision of beneficial knowledge and
Eemaan for the hearts of His obedient servants, indicating a Rizq
that is general that which is for the whole creation, that He
provides whatever the whole creation needs as regards to
provision and sustenance.

19. Think…
If a non-Muslim friend comes to you and says, “My father
works in a factory that makes pencils, so it means that he
creates, just like Allah creates”.
What answer would you give him/her?
