As’maa Ol Hus’na: The Ninetynine Names of Allah

The Ninetynine Names of

     ALLAHU  SUB’HANAHU  VA THA  AALAA

v  It is best for us to use, in our salaah, in our dua’yaen and in our conversation, the Name that the Creator of the Universe(s) has chosen for Himself in the Holy Qur’an: ALLAH.  It is also the best Zik’r.

v  The Holy Qur’an affirms that the most beautiful are the names of Allah, and it calls upon us to address Him by them.

v  Islami scholars alert us to a common practice in India and some other countries to address Our Creator as “Khudaa”. This is not a name from the Ninetynames of Allah exalted by the Holy Qur’an. However ancient it be, it is an innovation that brings us no reward. If we wish our prayers to Allah to be answered, it is in our interest to appeal to  Him as “Allah!”

v  The Holy Prophet S.A.W.S. informs us there are indeed ninetynine names of Allahu Rabbul Izzath and anyone who memorizes them and recites them will enter Paradise.

v  There is no achievement in any field of human endeavor,  that will not be ours, when we do this.  And, we will be safe and secure, with our loved ones, in the protection of Allah, than Whom none is greater. 

v  And Allah’s is the most complete protection, everlasting security.  Fee AmaanAllah!

HUVALLAHUL MAALIKUL MULKI ZUL JALAALI VAL IKRAAM

Meaning: He (Allah) is the Lord of all the worlds. He created the world and all its systems. Everything on and inside the earth will perish. But Allah’s Immaculate Countenance and  (Allah’s Majesty)

of the Utmost Power and Beauty and Glory will forever reign over the universe Allah was, Allah is and Allah will always be!

It will be most auspicious for their future, if we give our sons any one of Allah’s names, as above, with the prefix of Abdul.

 Examples:  Abdullah. Abdul Ghaffar.

We may also name them after Syedna Muhammed S.A.W.S..  Examples:  Muhammed Muzammil, Muhammed Kaleemullah, Ahmed Zaki.
