Who Is Allah? The Lion Learns Allah’s Names Al-Ghafir and At-Tawwab

Learn About Allah’s Forgiveness Through a Gentle Story

What happens when a child makes a mistake and feels worried, upset or afraid?

In Who Is Allah? The Lion Learns Allah’s Names Al-Ghafir and At-Tawwab, a young lion learns that making a mistake does not mean hope is lost.

Through a warm, comforting story, the little lion discovers two beautiful Names of Allah:

Al-Ghafir — The Forgiver

At-Tawwab — The Accepter of Repentance

This beautifully illustrated faceless Islamic children’s book helps toddlers and early readers understand that they can recognise their mistakes, ask Allah for forgiveness and sincerely try to do better.

With colourful animal characters, simple language and an emotionally reassuring message, the story introduces young children to repentance, responsibility and the vast mercy of Allah.

Discovering Al-Ghafir and At-Tawwab

Children sometimes feel overwhelmed after doing something wrong.

They may worry that they are no longer good, that others will remain upset with them or that their mistake cannot be corrected.

This gentle Islamic story helps children understand that Allah is Al-Ghafir, the One who forgives, and At-Tawwab, the One who accepts sincere repentance.

The Qur’an describes Allah as the Forgiver of sin and Accepter of repentance, and also teaches that Allah accepts the repentance of His servants.

Through the little lion’s experience, young readers are introduced to the comforting idea that they can:

• Admit when they have done something wrong
• Feel genuine regret
• Ask Allah for forgiveness
• Apologise to anyone they may have hurt
• Try to correct their behaviour
• Learn from mistakes
• Return to Allah with hope

The story presents these important lessons in language that is gentle, reassuring and appropriate for young children.

A Loving Introduction to Tawbah

Tawbah means sincerely turning back to Allah after making a mistake.

For a young child, this can begin with simple actions such as recognising what happened, saying sorry, asking Allah for forgiveness and trying not to repeat the same behaviour.

This book helps parents introduce the concept of tawbah without making children feel frightened or hopeless.

Instead, it teaches that mistakes can become opportunities to learn, improve and grow closer to Allah.

Children are encouraged to understand that taking responsibility matters, but they should never lose hope in Allah’s forgiveness and mercy.

• The meaning of Allah’s Names Al-Ghafir and At-Tawwab

• Why saying sorry is important
• How to take responsibility for actions

Supporting Children’s Emotional Development

Learning how to deal with mistakes is an important part of childhood.

Some children become angry when corrected, while others may feel embarrassed, frightened or deeply upset.
