A fun, creative Islamic resource that teaches Muslim children all about dhikr (the remembrance of Allah) and how to implement it in their daily lives.
 
This resource has been designed based upon “What Constitutes Dhikr (Remembrance) of Allāh, the Most High” by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān — a tremendous, concise, and beneficial speech.
 
The dhikr of Allah is performed on the tongue by uttering Subḥānallāh, Alḥamdulillāh, and Allāhu Akbar, and by reciting the Qur’ān. Dhikr of the heart is to fear Allāh, to have hope in Him, to be in awe of Him, to desire Him, to dread Him, to rely upon Him, to depend upon Him, and to seek refuge with Him — and other actions of the heart. Dhikr of Allāh is also performed through the outward actions of the limbs, such as prayer, fasting, ḥajj, ‘umrah, jihād, and other acts of obedience and worship — whether by the speech of the tongue, the actions of the limbs, or the actions of the heart. All of it is dhikr of Allāh, the Most Perfect, the Most High.
 
I have included in this resource the full lesson plan (on slides) and all the materials you need, as well as example images to show how everything should look. You can simply download and start teaching — whether at home, in a classroom, or online, as all slides are included too.
