99 Names of Allah (Al Asma Ul Husna)

www.99NamesofAllah.name | www.BacktoJannah.com

The first pillar of imaan (faith) in Islam is Belief in Allah. As Muslims, 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
understanding the names of Allah and living by them. How do we expect to worship, love, fear and trust our Lord, The Almighty Allah, if
we don’t know who He is?

Allah says in the 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 20:8)

He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. (Quran 59:24)

Prophet Muhammad ( ‫ )ﷺ‬said, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to
Paradise.”
(Sahih Bukhari 50:894)

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger ( ‫ )ﷺ‬as saying: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits 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)
