one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.”Ību 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. Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner to Him belong the best names. (Quran 7:180)Īllah – there is no deity except Him. How do we expect to worship, love, fear and trust our Lord, The Almighty Allah, if we don’t know who He is?Īnd to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. There is nothing more sacred and blessed than understanding the names of Allah and living by them. Learning and memorizing the names of Allah will help us to identify the correct way to believe in Him. Allah has revealed His names repeatedly in the Holy Quran primarily for us to understand who He is.
As Muslims, we believe in Allah in accordance with His beautiful names and attributes. The first pillar of imaan (faith) in Islam is Belief in Allah.
