The most beautiful names

Allah has named Himself with the most beautiful names. Allah says: 'To Allah belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them' (Surah al-A'raf 7:180). The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: 'Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one; whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise' (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736).

Knowing them

To enumerate the names is not only to memorize them, but to understand their meanings, affirm them, and live by what they call for - hoping in al-Ghafur, the Forgiving; relying on al-Wakil, the Trustee. Search the list above by name or meaning.

A note on the list

The exact list of ninety-nine is not given in a single authentic narration; scholars compiled it from the Quran and Sunnah, and minor differences exist between lists. The names themselves are all established; this widely-used enumeration follows the narration of at-Tirmidhi.

Common questions

How many names does Allah have?

The hadith mentions ninety-nine names by which He may be called, though His names are not limited to these. Whoever enumerates and lives by them is promised Paradise.

What does it mean to enumerate them?

More than memorizing - it means knowing their meanings, believing in them, and acting by what they require, such as turning to al-Tawwab, the Acceptor of Repentance, in repentance.

Why do some lists differ?

The specific list of ninety-nine is not in one authentic text; scholars derived it from the Quran and Sunnah, so a few names differ between compilations. All the names themselves are established.
