"Allah's are the names most beautiful. Whatever is in the heavens and earth extols His glory."—The Qur'an (Surah Al-Hashr 59:24) "Allah has 99 names. He who remembers these will certainly enter Paradise."—Prophet Muhammad (Bukhari)
Remembering the Names of Allah is a sacred tradition in Islam. Both the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet SAW (Ahadith) state the importance of learning them and promise rewards for reciting them in supplications and prayers. This beautiful hardback presentation of Allah's known ninety-nine names draws the reader nearer to the Divine through contemplation and reflection of Allah's names, their meaning, and how each impacts our daily lives. They help to conceptualize Allah, Whose limitless greatness and glory are impossible to grasp. Each name is presented in the original Arabic and translated into English. Accompanying each name is a commentary that is concise and easy to understand but rich in meaning.
Have a look at the accompanying book: Blessed Names and Characteristics of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
