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 (‫ )ﷺ‬said, “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

(‫ )ﷺ‬as 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)
