The MostBeautiful Attributes

of Divinity

www.qfatima.com

ASMAA UL HUSNA The most beautiful names (of Allah)

Say (O Muhammad): Call upon Allah or call upon the Merciful, whichever you call upon, He has the best names.. Suratu Bani Israil 17:110 The word Allah in the Quran is the name of an essence of His 99 beautiful names and qualities like Merciful, Kind, Knowing... Whatever little information the human being can get about Allah can only be acquired through His names. Otherwise, we have no access. Allah's attributes are utterly separate from ours and cannot be examined through a comparison with our attributes. For example, when we boast of our knowledge, we are not one and identical with our knowledge. During infancy there was no trace of learning or knowledge in our beings, but later we gradually acquired a certain amount of knowledge by learning. The attribute of knowledge is an accident and our essence is a substance; each is independent of the other. But the case of the divine attributes is fundamentally

WWW.QFATIMA.COM 1

different. When we say that Allah is all-knowing, what we mean is that He is the source of knowledge: the attribute is not something other than the entity it describes although it is conceptually distinct. In reality, His attributes are identical with His essence; for His essence does not constitute a substance to which accidents might adhere. He is absolute being, identical with knowledge, power, life, stability and realization; He is not subject to any mental or external limit or restriction. Our whole word in essence is a name of Allah because nothing which exists can come into existence automatically. These qualities and Names are therefore an infra-structure for human akhlaq because in Islam, the human being is the representative of Allah. The Prophet (pbuh) has said: Adopt the akhlaq of Allah In the same way, in order to arrive at the ideal society of the Quran, we must build our society with the Divine Qualities. The human being in social life needs peace in his life and As-Salaam Peace is one of the Names of

WWW.QFATIMA.COM 2

Allah. A person also needs kindness and forgiveness for wellbeing in individual life as well as in society and Ar-Rahmaan and Ar-Raheem are two of His names. Society likewise in order to attain solidarity, power and confidence needs eiman -faith. Al-Mumin -The believer is one of the qualities of Allah. In order to attain control over our affairs and independence we must develop strength within ourselves. Al-Qawiyyu -The Powerful and Al-Ghaniyyu -The Independent (rich) are two more of His Qualities. The human being and human society is distinguished by having creative ability, and inventiveness. Al-Khaliqu - The Creator, Al-Baariu The Originator, Al-Musawwiru The Fashioner are among Allahs other Names and Qualities. If you were to play tennis, you would not go onto the court with bedroom slippers. Similarly, we have to learn and apply the right name and thus the right akhlaq in the appropriate situation. All the Asmaaul Husna - qualities can be reflected in our souls individually and our society be filled
