99 Names of Allah (Al Asma Ul Husna)

The first pillar of imaan (faith) in Islam is Belief in Allah. As Muslims, we believe in Allah in accordance with His beautiful names and attributes. Allah has revealed His names repeatedly in the Holy Quran primarily for us to understand who He is.

Learning and memorizing the names of Allah will help us to identify the correct
way to believe in Him. There is nothing more sacred and blessed than
understanding the names of Allah and living by them. How do we expect to
worship, love, fear and trust our Lord, The Almighty Allah, if we don’t know
who He is?

Allah says in the Quran:

And to Allah belong the
best names, so invoke Him by them.. (Quran 7:180)

Allah – there is no deity
except Him. To Him belong the best names. (Quran 20:8)

He is Allah, the Creator,
the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. (Quran 59:24)

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “Allah has ninety-nine
names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.”

(Sahih Bukhari 50:894)

Abu Huraira reported
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to
memory would get into Paradise. Verily, Allah is Odd (He is one, and it is an
odd number) and He loves odd number..”

(Sahih Muslim Book-48 Hadith-5)

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.” (Sahih Bukhari 50:894)
