- Bismillah and Alhamdulillah written in Arabic on the pictures
- A hadith reference on every card, from Al-Bukhari 5376 and Muslim 2020 to Abu Dawud 3728 and Muslim 2734

For grown-ups
- Hang it at your child's eye level near the dining table, so you can point to it during meals.
- Pick one habit a week, such as sitting down to drink, and praise your child every time they remember it.
- Count the three sips together out loud, “one, two, three”, taking the cup away from your mouth between each.
- Play a mealtime spotting game: who can spot someone saying Bismillah or eating with their right hand first?
- 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.
