    Knowledge of the Beautiful Names of Allah is the noblest of all sciences as it is directly related to knowledge of Almighty Allah Himself. Getting to know Allah is necessary, and He alone has all the names that have the best meanings and the perfect attributes. Allah Almighty says, To Allah belong the Most Beautiful Names, so call Him by them. [Surat Al-Araaf, 7:180].

    The true value of this knowledge lies in acquiring it and deepening it. As Allah Almighty says, It is those of His servants who have knowledge who stand in true awe of Allah. [Surat Faatir, 35:28].

    True knowledge of Allah, including knowledge of His names, is the foundation of all sciences and the basis of faith, for knowledge comes before words and actions. The first thing that

    Allah commands us to do is to profess His unity, for when we truly know Him, we will certainly worship Him alone. Allah Almighty says, Know, therefore, that there is no god but Allah. [Surat Muhammad, 47:19].

    Knowledge of Allah through His Beautiful Names increases our faith and certainty and serves to establish tawheed (pure Islamic monotheism). Thus, the quickest way to enjoy worship is to reflect on the Names and Attributes of Allah mentioned in the Quran and the

    authentic traditions of the Prophet (peace be upon him)

    All Allahs beautiful names without exception prompt us to love Allah, Exalted be He, because they are all perfect.

    In this section, you will learn about the beautiful names of Allah which prompt us to love Allah and to be aware of His presence, showing due respect to Him by not engaging in things He does not like us to do when we know He can see us.

    Loving Allah is the most important aspect of worshipping Allah. Allah, Exalted be He, says, ...Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him... (Surat Al-Maaidah, 5:54) Being aware of Allahs presence and showing due respect to Him by not doing things He does not like us to do is a positive outcome of this love which goes hand in hand with it.

    This positive effect comes by reflecting on the meanings of these names and the positive effect they have on Allahs creation, in the universe and in His Law.

    Generally, these names point to Allahs encompassing mercy that He shows to His slaves by creating them in the first place, showing His kindness to them, making easy their means of sustenance and sending messengers with legislation and guidance based on a religion that is true and easy. They also point to His infinite kindness which is apparent in giving great rewards, forgiveness of sins, ease of reckoning on the Day of Judgement, covering up of mistakes, and not hastening to punish His sinful slaves and giving them an opportunity to repent and turn to Him.

    Amongst the signs that prompt us to love Allah and avoid doing things He does not like is His beautiful creation of mankind, whom He created in the best of forms, has chosen for them the most complete religion and favoured them over many of those He has created.

    Pondering upon these names will prompt us to love Allah, experience peace and tranquillity in His presence and show due respect to Him. They also have a positive impact on our hearts, our conduct and worship of our Lord. Love of Allah prompts us to show total obedience to Him, dedicate ourselves completely to Him, avoid sins as much as possible and worship none but Him. It also makes it easy for us to bear the hardships of this life as well as the hardships we endure as a result of showing obedience to Allah and giving up the pleasures of sin.

    They also require that we should love anything Allah loves: words, deeds, acts of obedience to Him, the angels, the messengers and all Allahs devout servants.

    Exalting and venerating Allah is one of the greatest duties we must discharge towards our Lord. Doing so prompts us to fear Allah, revere Him, love Him and hope in His mercy and grace.

    Allah, Exalted be He, says, They do not value Allah at His true value, and the whole earth will be in His grip on the Day of Resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His right hand; glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what they associate (with Him). (Surat Az-Zumar, 39:67) He also says, What is the matter with you, that you do not appreciate Allahs Greatness? (Surat Nooh, 71:13).

    In this section, you will learn about the beautiful names of Allah that point to His greatness and supreme majesty, Exalted and Glorified be He.

    Generally, these names point to Allahs absolute power over everything, every being and every action, His complete control of the universe, His absolute disposal of affairs, His decree which will certainly come to pass, His immense wisdom which has perfected everything He created as well as every action and every law.

    They also point to Allahs absolute dominion and His decree which cannot be averted and that everything belongs to Him. They also point to Allahs greatness and His eternal presence, that He is the Ever Living who never dies, that neither slumber, nor sleep overtakes Him.

    The greatest meaning they contain is that all His creation stand in need of Him and show total dependence upon Him.

    Belief in Allahs greatness, supreme majesty and absolute power causes us to experience peace and tranquillity, assured of Allahs promise, endure hardships and misfortunes patiently while defending the truth, bear misfortunes, not to worry about our sustenance, honour whatever He has declared sacred, and not to be deceived by the life of the world, power and wealth.

    They also prompt us to be conscious of Allahs presence and to show due respect to Him in public and in secret, love Him, hope for His mercy, seek refuge with Him, ask Him alone to grant our requests and fulfil our needs and reject all forms of shirk (associating partners with Allah in worship).

    Fearing Allah and standing in awe of Him are the two cornerstones of worship, which correspond to hope in Allahs mercy and His forgiveness. Allah, Exalted be He, says, Those who fear their Lord in the Unseen will have forgiveness and an immense reward. (Surat Al-Mulk 67:12) Talking about the angels, Allah also says, They fear their Lord above them... (Surat An-Nahl 16:50).

    In this section, you will learn about Allahs beautiful names which prompt us to fear Allah and stand in awe of Him.

    This positive effect in the heart and the mind comes as a result of reflecting on the meanings of these names and the effect they produce in this life and in the hereafter.

    Generally, these names point to the fact that Allah encompasses all things, and that He is aware of all our actions, apparent and hidden, as well as the minute intricacies of the universe. They point to Allahs forbearance which requires giving His sinful slaves the opportunity to make amends and turn to Him. They also point to His omnipotence in inflicting severe punishment on those who disobey Him as well as those who deserve such punishment, all in His immense justice. Allah, Exalted be He, says, Such is the punishment of your Lord when He punishes the towns while they are unjust; surely, His punishment is painful, severe. (Surat Hud, 11:102).

    Allah will reward or punish His slaves on the Day of Judgement for whatever acts they have done in this world. He will also, in His infinite mercy and grace, forgive the sins of whomever He wills.

    These qualities of fearing Allah and standing in awe of Him have a positive impact on our lives. These names prompt us to keep away from sins for fear of Allahs punishment, not trusting the life of the world and its fleeting pleasures, being afraid of Allahs punishment especially after showing us forbearance and patience and giving us the opportunity to repent and turn to Him.
