For grown-ups
- Hang it near the front door or the dining table, where many of these moments happen every day.
- Play the “What do I say?” game: act out meeting a friend, starting a meal or seeing a tall mountain, and let your child call out the right phrase.
- Cover the words with a sticky note and see if your child can guess the phrase from the picture alone.
- Praise them warmly when they use a phrase on their own, like a MashaAllah for a friend's drawing or an InshaAllah for tomorrow's plans.
- Print at 100% ("actual size") on thick paper, or laminate it for a busy wall. For a big classroom or masjid poster, use the 18 × 24 in PDF at a print shop.
