Asma al-Husna - The Most Beautiful Names of God - the 99 Names Of Allah - Translation of the 99 Names of Allah - The 99 Names Of Allah .
Learn 99 Names of Allah
The importance of learning the Asma ul Husna
First and foremost, for those who believe and want to worship Allah, the need to describe Him with certain names is essential. It is not possible to worship that which is unknown. The knowledge of the Asma ul Husna is important in that it allows servants to become acquainted with Allah and it sheds light on the realm of the relationship between Allah and the world
The correct knowledge of Allah will release a person from all worries and superstitions, as well as from groundless assumptions. A person who bases their knowledge of Allah on information that emanates directly from the Creator instead of their own assumptions will be able to attain mental and spiritual clarity. A person will feel the need to make a connection and establish a relationship with Him in their heart and not just with their mind. The role played by the Asma ul Husna is very great in this respect. It has been observed that in the prayers that have been related through Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), the Asma ul Husna are frequently mentioned. The human soul seeks perfection. When it learns of the perfection of something, it is drawn there and experiences joy parallel to the level of perfection found. Just as knowing Allah is possible through learning His name and attributes, loving Him is only possible through knowing that all perfection lies with Him.
In short, learning the Asma ul Husna will provide knowledge of Allah. The knowledge of Allah is the seed of love for Allah. When a seed falls onto the heart, it sprouts, growing into a tree of eagerness and love. The fruits of this tree appear and ripen in the heart, the soul, the hands, feet, eyes and ears - in both our physical and spiritual existence. These fruit are sincere virtues, such as respect for the Creator, mercy for creation, liberation from bad habits, acquisition of good habits and enduring all kinds of hardships in the way of Allah.
According to a hadith narrated in Bukhari and Muslim, Prophet Muhammad said the following about the Asma ul Husna: "Allah has 99 names. Whoever memorizes and embraces (ihsa) these qualities will enter heaven."
The meaning of the world ihsa is emphasized, with the view that this word means more than the mere dictionary meaning of "counting, memorization and understanding". In this context the word ihsa includes the meaning "Understanding Islam's belief in the Divine by resorting to evidence from holy verses, espousing these beliefs and attaining a level of spiritual perfection that is befitting to this belief."
Ninety-three of the names that are mentioned in the hadiths are also in the Holy Quran, while the meanings of the other six names have been attributed to Allah with different words. This list [of names] has become popular in the Islamic world, and is read as a prayer and supplication; the Asma ul Husna have also become a subject for Islamic calligraphy.
In one of his prayers to Allah Prophet Muhammad, while mentioning the level of appearance and knowledge of the names of Allah, stated "...or your names which you left to the science of the unknown and chose for yourself," thus informing us that there are other names belonging to Allah which are not known or apparent to us.
The 99 names of the Asma ul Husna, if examined with love and respect, joy and sorrow, can be its inability to be understood merely in terms of love and blessing . Nor would it be right to describe the Almighty Creator, Who forms a part of the large mechanism that is visible in both animate and inanimate nature and Who is in a constant state of action and reaction, in terms of fear or sorrow.
Below is a list of Allah's most beautiful names or 99 names of Allah (SWT) used in Islam with their meanings in English.
"The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on him by them." (Glorious Qur'an 7:180)
He is Allah the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner; His are the most excellent names; whatever is in the heavens and the earth declares His glory; and He is the Mighty, the Wise. (Glorious Qur'an 59:24)
Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. (Glorious Qur'an 13:28)
