99 Names of Allah (Al Asma Ul Husna)
The first pillar of Imaan (faith) in Islam is Belief in Allah. As Muslims, we believe in Allah in accordance with His beautiful names and attributes.
Allah has revealed His name repeatedly in the Holy Quran, primarily so that we can understand who He is. Learning and memorizing Allah’s names will help us identify the correct way to believe in Him. There is nothing more sacred and blessed than understanding the names of Allah and living by them. How do we expect to worship, love, fear, and trust our Lord, The Almighty Allah, if we don’t know who He is?
