The Beautiful Names
of Allāh
The most beautiful names belong to Allāh:
so call on Him by them
Qur'ān 7:180, tr Yusuf Ali
Call upon Allāh or call upon Rahmān:
by whatever name ye call upon Him (it is well):
for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
Qur'ān 17:110, tr Yusuf Ali
The glorious name Allāh, subhāna wa ta'ālā, is the greatest and most beautiful
of all the names. The name Allāh encompasses all of the divine names and attributes of perfection.
The name Allāh is the Arabic proper name of the One,
while other names, descriptions and titles such as these ninety-nine beautiful names are considered to be attributes of Allāh,
they are the signs by which we rcognize the wonder and glory of the Almighty One.
The essence of all attributes, descriptions and names
are unified in this one name, Allāh, which denotes the sacred perfection of love, harmony and beauty.
He is Allah
the Creator the Evolver the Bestower of Forms (or colors).
To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names:
Whatever is in
the heavens and on earth doth declare His Praises and Glory:
and He is the exalted in Might the Wise.
Qur'ān 59:24, tr Yusuf Ali
Allah! there is no god but He!
To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
Qur'ān 20:8, tr Yusuf Ali
