Allah SWT said, 
"The Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by Them,"
Qur'an, Al-A'raf 7:180

99 Names of Allah (SWT)



Learn the 99 names of Allah SWT @ Islamic learning website newmuslimessentials.com
In Hadith, Abu Huraira reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: “There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory would get into Paradise. Verily, Allah is Odd (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd number.” And in the narration of Ibn 'Umar (the words are): "He who enumerated them." Sahih Muslim,  

These names are the attributes of Allah SWT, but He is not only limited to these names; these ones are all found in Al-Qur'an. You will probably note that people are often given variations of many of these names: the exception is that they do not use the preceding definite article in front of it, so as not to indicate THE one who is Most High. Many times the name Abd is added such as in Abdel-Rahman (meaning "slave of Allah").

Below are 99 Names of Allah SWT, with its translated meaning in the English language. I was curious myself as to why they are always found in references in this same arrangement, but I couldn't find the reason. It is not a chronological arrangement; if you want to know how we are aware of these names, click  to find its reference point in al-Qur'an.
