Allah Taala's Names


The names of Allah Taala are those proper nouns employed in reference to Him in the Holy Quraan and the Sunnah. Every one of those names refers to one or more attributes of Allah Taala.
Each name is derived from its verbal noun, such as the All-Knowing (Al-‘Aleem), the Able (Al-Qaadir), the All-Hearing (As-Samee’), the All-Seeing (Al-Baseer), and so on. The name Al-‘Aleem (the All-Knowing), for example, is derived from the attribute of 'knowledge', and the same is true of the Merciful (Ar-Rahmaan), etc.
Counting Allah Taala's ninety nine names means: knowing them, learning them by heart, understanding them, believing in them, good observance towards them, presentation of their boundaries in our dealings with Allah, and supplicating Allah Taala through them.
