Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Asmaul Husna" mean?
Asmaul Husna is Arabic for "the Beautiful Names" (أسماء الله الحسنى). It refers to the names and attributes of Allah mentioned in the Quran and authentic Sunnah. Allah says: "And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them." (Quran 7:180)
How many names of Allah are there?
The hadith mentions 99 names, but scholars note this does not mean Allah is limited to 99 names. Rather, these 99 are the ones specifically mentioned as a means of entering Paradise through learning them. Some scholars have identified more than 99 names in the Quran and Sunnah.
What does "ihsa" (counting) the names mean?
Scholars say "ihsa" of Allah's names means: (1) memorising them, (2) understanding their meanings, (3) worshipping Allah according to them (e.g., calling upon Al-Ghafur when seeking forgiveness, Al-Razzaq when asking for provision).
