Names of Allâh (SWT)
Al-A'raf
[180] The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on Him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in His names: for what they do, they will soon be requited.
Al-Israa
[110] Say: "Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."
Ta-Ha
[8] Allah! there is no god but He! To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
Al-Hashr
[24] He is Allah, the Creator, the Evolver, the Bestower of Forms (or Colours). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare His Praises and Glory; and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
Fussilat
[53]" We shall show them Our Signs upon the horizons and within themselves until it is clear to them that it is the Real (the Truth)"
Allah Self-disclosed through the manifestation of the Most Beautiful Names of which one Hadith relates the following Ninety-Nine Names of Allâh:
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory will be admitted to Paradise. Verily, Allah is Witr (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd number.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 4835
