The first pillar of imaan (faith) in Islam is Belief in Allah. As aMuslims, 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 understand?
Allah says in 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 7:180)
He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names.
(Quran 59:24)
Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said, ”Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise”.
(Sahih Bukhari 54:23)
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger(S.A.W) as saying: There is ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commites 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)
