Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Names and Attributes of Allah
Benefits of Reciting 99 Names of Allah Daily
The Sunnah tells us that the reward for memorising the names of Allah is admission to Paradise. The Prophet said: “Allah has ninety-nine names. Whoever memorises them will enter Paradise.”102,401The Greatest Name of Allah
Perhaps the view that is most likely to be correct is the view that the greatest name is “Allah,” because this is the one name which encompasses all the other names and attributes of Allah and it is a name that was never given to anyone other than Allah.104,185The meaning of Allah’s name al-‘Aziz
Al-‘Aziz (the Almighty) is one of the names of Allah, and al-‘izzah (might), which is one of the attributes of Allah, has three meanings: ‘izzah in the sense that no one can harm Him, ‘izzah in the sense of subduing and controlling others, and ‘izzah in the sense of might and power. All of these attributes belong to Allah, may He be exalted, in the most perfect and complete sense.7,153How to Understand the Names and Attributes of Allah
The creed of Ahl As-Sunnah wal Jama`ah regarding the attributes of Allah is that they affirm them and affirm the meanings indicated by the words in linguistic terms, and they leave knowledge of how the attributes are and their nature to Him, while believing that we cannot compare any of the divine Attributes to the attributes of created beings, for there is none like unto Him either in His Essence or in His attributes.9,547Belief in the Attributes of Allah
It is obligatory to believe in the names and attributes that Allah has affirmed for Himself and what His Messenger has affirmed of that, without asking how, likening Him to His creation, distorting the meaning or denying any of it.10,034Is al-Mughith (the Helper) one of the names of Allah?
