Class Description


Names of Allah is a journey through the divine names of Allah ﷻ. We will explore the names that Allah ﷻ uses to describe Himself, deepening our understanding of our Creator. We will learn the meanings and attributes of Allah ﷻ and how they can guide us on our spiritual journey.

  • I liked how Anse is able to connect the names of Allah to personal life and experiences

  • The teacher was very informative and she taught in a way that made it interesting. It felt more conversational than just like a lecture.

  • I loved how Anse Sarah went in depth into the meanings of each Name and suggested ways that we could use it in our Dua.

  • I liked learning about the attributes of Allah through the Anse's life stories.

  • I liked how there were a lot of examples of how to apply the names of Allah in our lives to be more mindful and remembering of Allah

  • I really liked Anse Sarah's way of teaching, and my favourite part of the last class was when we drew our dream Jannah

  • I liked how the teacher referred to different problems in life and how the names of Allah can comfort you. It helps you put things into perspective.
