99 Names of Allah

Asma ul Husna
"The most beautiful names belong to Him (Allah)." ( Surah Al-Hashr, verse 24).
The phrase Asma ul Husna, made up of the word asma, the plural for "name", and husna, meaning beautiful or most beautiful, means "Allah's most beautiful names."The names which are attributes of Allah can be found in the Holy Quran.
In order to familiarise ourselves with Allah, one needs to be familiar with the meanings and implications of His attributes listed below.

Allah says, "He had taught Adam all names" (Al-Baqarah [2]: 31) and "Whose God is the name - a beautiful name, and ask Him by the name - the name" (Al - A `RAAF [ 7]: 180)Prophet said, "God has 99 names, a hundred less one; he who understand it will go to heaven." (Shahiih Bukhaari, Muslim Shahiih). Of course, in understanding not only with words but also with deeds and our behavior.The virtues and benefits of the Name - Name of God (Asmaul Husna) has been widely felt by many people. So I tried to summarize the few books that discuss the virtues and benefits of the Asmaul Husna. Easy - hopefully benefit us all. Amiin ....
