Allah / Prophet Names

ASMA-UL-HUSNA

Allah is the greatest creator. In Islam, The asma ul husna 99 names of Allah are mentioned in the Quran. Although some names are mentioned in the Quran, and some are in the hadith. Some names are mentioned in both.

Allah has exposed his names frequently in the Holy Quran mainly for us to recognize who he is. There is not anything more blessed and sacred than sympathetic to the names of Allah.

In the Holy Quran Allah says:

“There is no divinity excepting Him. The best names belong to Him.”

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever be familiar with them will go to Heaven.”

The word Allah is the superlative and all-comprehensive celestial name. The 99 names of Allah are exclusive and unmatched and designates the reality of one creator of the world who is almighty and omnipotent.
