The 99 Beautiful Divine Names of Allah
Book Author Frater Achad
DescriptionThe 99 Names of God (Arabic: أسماء الله الØسنى‎ ʾasmÄʾ allÄh al-ḥusnÄ), are the Names of God (specifically, attributes) by which Muslims regard God and which are described in the Qur'an, and Sunnah, amongst other places. There is, according to hadith, a special group of 99 names but no enumeration of them. Thus the exact list is not agreed upon, and the Names of God (as adjectives, word constructs, or otherwise) exceed 99 in the Qur'an and Sunnah. According to a hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud some of the names of God have been hidden from mankind, therefore there are not only 99 names of God but there are more.
