The knowledge of the names of Allah is the origin of all sciences, the foundation of faith and the first of obligations. If people truly know their Lord, they will worship Him perfectly. { To Allah belong the most beautiful names. Invoke Him by these names and leave those who profane His names: they will be recompensed for what they have done. } (al-A‘râf : 180)

The Prophet alayhi salat wa salam said: “Indeed Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred minus one, whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise.” (Reported by al-Bukhârî and Muslim).

All the Names and their meanings cited here are taken from our book "Understanding the Names of Allah" by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Razzâq al-Badr.
