There are names that Allah has hidden from us, these are names that are known only to Him or to a special elect.

The meaning of the words encountered in the text is written.

One of the most famous saints in India - Shirdi Sai Baba- was a Muslim.

In contact with

According to the Quran:

“Allah has beautiful names; call him after them and leave those who schismatic about his names. They will be rewarded for what they do!”

General information

The number of names of Allah (which can also be understood as aspects of God), combined into a single list, is determined by the words of the prophet Muhammad:

“Indeed, Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred minus one. everyone who remembers them will go to paradise.”

The Qur'an prescribes to use them in prayers:

“Allah has the most beautiful names. Therefore, call upon Him by means of them, and leave those who deny His names."

Al-Araf 7:180 (Kuliyev)

In academic writings, names are often ordered according to the order in which they appear in the Qur'an.

At the same time, there is a tradition to arrange them according to the Arabic alphabet.

The name "Allah" is usually not included in the list and, characterized as the highest (al-sim al-"azam), is often called the hundredth. Since the Qur'an does not give an unambiguous list of names, in different traditions it may differ in one or two names.

In the lists, the names of Allah are usually given with the Arabic definite article al-. But if the name of Allah in prayer is not mentioned as part of a phrase, but by itself, then instead of al- it is pronounced ya- (“Ya-Salam” - “Oh, Peacemaker!”).

Classification

All 99 names can be conditionally divided into two or three groups according to their features.

Firstly, they distinguish between the names of the essence of God (adh-dhāt) and the names of His qualities (aṣ-ṣifāt), and secondly, they distinguish between the origin of the name: traditional names and names that follow directly from the Qur'an or indirectly from it.

In the theology of Islam, there are more detailed classifications, in particular, among the names of qualities, the names of mercy and severity, beauty and greatness, and others can differ.

The concepts of "tanzih" (tanzīh) and "tashbih" (tashbīh) reflect the problem of anthropomorphism in Islam.

Tanzih means the impossibility of comparing God with man. On the other hand, a person perceives the divine through the prism of his life concepts and capabilities, therefore, he describes God with such names as Independent, Illustrious, etc., corresponding to the tanzikha tradition. Tashbih is the opposite of tanziha, meaning the similarity of something to something.

As a religious concept, it means the possibility of describing the divine through qualities created by God.

Tashbih includes the names Merciful, Loving, Forgiving, etc.

According to the Quran, no one and nothing can equal or be like Allah.

On the other hand, the Quran describes Allah using the attributes of a person or human life- hands, throne. As a result, questions arise: is God different from his creation and how legitimate it is to describe Him by comparison with the creations of Allah.

The answers are the subject of debate in classical Islamic theology.

At present, the concept of the theologian and philosopher of the early 10th century, al-Ashari, is more common.

According to this concept, the description of Allah given in the Qur'an and Hadith should be accepted as true.

"God has unique differences from His creations, but their essence is unknown."

Rules

If the names of Allah come from derivative verbs, then Sharia law follows from such names.

For example, if the robbers repent of their deeds, then the established measure of punishment is not applied to them.

They rely on the following statement from the Qur'an:

“This does not apply to those who repented before you got the better of them. May you know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful!”

The mention of these two names indicates that Allah forgives such people and shows compassion to them, delivering them from the established punishment.

List of names

ArabicPractical transcriptionTransliterationMeaningMentions in the QuranComments
الله Allah (inf.)AllahAllah, God, One GodSee "Comments" columnThe name "Allah" is mentioned 2697 times in the Qur'an. In translations, it is often used as a synonym for the word "God", but for Muslims, "Al Lah" at the same time means "the oneness of God." The etymology of the Arabic word "Allah" has not been fully elucidated. It can enter the name of a person only in the form, like Abd-Allah (servant of God).
1 الرحمن Ar-Raḥmān (inf.)Ar-RahmanGracious, All-Beneficent, Merciful, CompassionateWith the exception of the beginnings of the suras, the name al-Rahman is mentioned 56 times in the Qur'an and most often in the 19th sura. It can only be used to address Allah. It has many meanings related to the concept of mercy. Some Islamic theologians, based on the words of Muhammad, deduce the origin of the names ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim from the Arabic word ar-Raḥman, meaning mercy. According to the Aramaicist Yona Greenfeld (eng. Jonas C. Greenfield), ar-Rahman, unlike the word ar-rahim, is borrowed, which causes its complex structure of meanings. In Islamic theology, the name ar-Rahim is considered to include all types of God's compassion (possessing mercy), while ar-Rahman means action towards believers (showing mercy).
2 الرحيم Ar-Raḥīm (inf.)Ar-RahimMercifulIn the verses and the beginning of every sura except one.It is mentioned 114 times in the Quran in relation to Allah. Often found together with the name al-Rahman. It is believed that it comes from the word ar-Raḥman, meaning mercy. In Islamic theology, the name ar-Rahman is considered to include all types of God's compassion, while ar-Rahim means action towards believers and it can be used as a characteristic of a person.
3 الملك Al-Malik (inf.)Al-MalikTsarTa Ha 20:114, Al-Mu'minun 23:116, Al-Hashr 59:23, Al-Jumu'a 62:1, An-Nas 114:2Here it means the king of kings, the absolute ruler, carefully guiding his followers. It can serve as the basis for the formation of a name, for example, Abdulmalik (slave of the king). Sahihi Al-Bukhari and Muslim cite the words of the prophet Muhammad that the name al-Malik is the most accurate description of Allah as the highest king. This name is found in the Qur'an in three linguistic forms: al-Malik (occurs five times), al-Mālik (occurs twice, see Malik al-Mulk) and al-Malīk (occurs once). The corresponding Arabic words have different semantic connotations, meaning the person whose orders are carried out, the one who owns, and the one who can forbid something to others. In the case of 99 names, the semantic distinction is erased, and each of the forms in a particular verse emphasizes its content. In fact, they are related to each other in the same way as the names ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim.
4 القدوس Al-Quddūs (inf.)Al QuddusSaintAl-Hashr 59:23, Al-Jumu'a 62:1The name is based on the word Quadusa, meaning to be pure, holy. Also, this name is translated as the Most Pure, in commemoration of the fact that Allah is free from vices, shortcomings and human sins.
5 السلام As-Salām (inf.)As-SalamMost Pure, Giver of Peace and Prosperity, Peacemaker, ExceptionalAl-Hashr 59:23Allah protects the believers from all dangers. Being a source of peace and harmony, he grants peace and protection of Paradise to believers.
6 المؤمن Al-Mu'mim (inf.)Al Mu'minPreserving, Giving Security, Giving Faith, Conduit of Faith, Guaranteeing ProtectionAl-Hashr 59:23The name al-Mu'min considers two aspects: God as a source of stability and security, on the one hand, and as a source of faith in a person's heart, on the other. It is explained that faith is the highest gift of Allah and it protects from any troubles. This name comes from the verb "believe", like the Arabic name of the believer - mu'min.
7 المهيمن Al-Muhaymin (inf.)Al-MuhayminGuardian, Guardian, Guide, SaviorAl-Hashr 59:23It is explicitly mentioned in the Qur'an once, but descriptions of Allah corresponding in meaning are found more than once. The word "muheimin" has several meanings, and in this case it is interpreted as the name of the one who provides peace and protection. Its theological meaning is to describe Allah as the one who protects the interests of the believers. Its other meaning describes Allah as a witness to all the words and actions of a person who protects their result. The meaning of the name is also interpreted as a reminder that all good and bad deeds of a person are known to Allah and all of them are recorded in the Preserved Tablet.
8 العزيز Al-Azīz (inf.)Al AzizMighty, Almighty, ConquerorAl-Imran 3:6, An-Nisa 4:158, Taubah 9:40, Taubah 9:71, Al-Fath 48:7, Al-Hashr 59:23, As-Saaf 61:1It is pointed out that there is no one more powerful than Allah. As manifestations of the power of Allah in Islamic theology, the creation of people by God, their actions, help to the righteous, and the creation of natural phenomena are listed.
9 الجبار Al-Jabbar (inf.)Al JabbarMighty, Subduing, Bogatyr (Correcting Force), IrresistibleAl-Hashr 59:23Traditionally, the translation of this name from Arabic is associated with the aspect of strength, the ability to subjugate. IN English translations it is customary to use the term The Despot to emphasize the idea that no one can control God, and on the contrary, Allah has the power of coercion, in particular, coercion to follow one way or another. Since following Allah is the best choice, emphasizes the good for man associated with this quality of God. The second interpretation is related to the word jabbarah, which is usually translated as "too high to be reached". From this it follows that Allah is placed higher than anyone else.

Common name Ar-Rabb(Ar-Rabb, Arabic. الرب ‎‎) is translated as Lord or Lord, One who has the power to rule.

It applies only in relation to Allah, for people the construction is used Rabb Ad-Dar. Ibn Arabi names three main names of God: Allah, ar-Rahman and ar-Rabb. Ar-Rabb is used in the phrase "Allah, Lord of the Worlds" ( Rabb al-'alamin), where alam (pl. alamin) means everything except Allah.

Among other names of Allah that are not included in the traditional list, the Qur'an mentions al-Mawla (al-Mawlā, Arabic المولى ‎‎, Protector), an-Nasir (an-Nāṣir, Arabic الناصر ‎‎, Helper), al- Ghalib (al-Ghālib, Arabic الغالب ‎‎ The Conqueror), al-Fatir (al-Fāṭir, Arabic الفاطر ‎‎, Creator), al-Karib (al-Qarib, Arabic القریب ‎‎, The Nearest) and others .

Cultural aspects

All surahs of the Qur'an except the ninth sura begin with a phrase called bismillah - "in the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful." These words are often said in prayers, they precede all official documents.

The names of Allah should not be used in oaths, as warned in Hadith al-Qudsi and the Qur'an.

As a negative example, a story is given about a man who swore by Allah that God would not forgive a certain sin, and thereby calling into question the forgiveness of the Almighty, crossed out his good deeds. Superlative feelings in the Hadith are sometimes expressed through the use of figurative oaths such attributes as the glory of God, but not names.

The names of Allah are used in dhikr - a prayer that consists in repeated repetition of an appeal to God. Dhikr is considered the key in Sufi practice.

It allows accompaniment of prayer repetition by singing and accompaniment on musical instruments.

Prayers that consist of repeating the 99 names of Allah are called wazifa.

The number of repetitions in them can reach tens of thousands. Wazifa is performed both individually and collectively.

Subha (beads) are sometimes used to facilitate counting during silent prayer to God. They consist of 99 or 33 beads, each of which corresponds to one of the 99 names of Allah.

During prayer, the phrases “praise be to Allah” (subhana Alahi), “glory to Allah” (al-hamdu li Alahi) and “Allah is great” (Allahu Akbar) are pronounced 33 times.

We understand that the number of names of Allah is completely incalculable by our limited mind. We, by the Grace of the Almighty Creator, know only 99 names of Allah. Here you can find out the translation into Russian and the meaning of the ninety-nine names of Allah Almighty.

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“Allah has ninety-nine names, one less than a hundred. Whoever learns them will enter Paradise.” Hadith from Abu Hurairah, St. hadiths of al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The Almighty Creator in the Quran says:

Allah (God) has beautiful names and you can address Him using them (speak to Him using them). Leave (leave, pass by) those who [deliberately] do something wrong (sinful) regarding His names [saying, for example, that many names indicate many gods]. [Do not doubt and do not worry] they [these spiritually poor and foolish people] will be fully rewarded for what they did [against the holiness of the Creator]. Holy Quran, 7:180

Every Muslim who believes must know the 99 names of Allah. The names of the Almighty are usually ordered according to the order in which they are mentioned in Holy Quran or according to the Arabic alphabet. The Qur'an prescribes the use of the names of Allah in prayers, dua and remembrance of Allah (dhikr). In the lists, the names of Allah are usually given with the definite article of the Arabic language "al-". But if any name of Allah in prayer is mentioned not as part of a phrase, but by itself, then instead of “al-” it is pronounced “ya-” (for example, “Ya Jalil” - “Oh, Majestic!”).

We should try to do as good deeds as possible in every possible way, as a Muslim is obliged to do good. Get knowledge and teach other people. (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“The best of people are the most useful for people”

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever teaches any knowledge will receive the same reward as the one who does (good deeds) in accordance with (received) knowledge, while the reward of the doer himself will not decrease.”

In our times, unfortunately, people think about the essence of Allah. He is Holy and Great. Indeed, one should beware of this. So that believers do not fall into error and extremes, they should abandon reflections on the essence of the Almighty. Only Allah Himself knows about the essence of the Supreme Creator. A good nasihat on this issue was given by a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Ibn Abbas, who said:

“Meditate on the creatures of Allah and refrain from thinking about His essence.”

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Indeed, the Lord has ninety-nine names. Whoever learns them will enter Paradise.".

Imam al-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, stated the following regarding this hadith: “The scholars unanimously agree that this hadeeth does not imply that Allah has only ninety-nine names, or that He has no other names than these ninety-nine. Rather, the meaning of the hadith is that whoever learns these ninety-nine names will enter Paradise. The meaning is that the one who knows these names will enter Paradise, and not that the number of names is limited. Thus, every truly believing Muslim must know the 99 names of Allah.

The names of the Almighty (Arabic Asma al-Husna - beautiful names) are usually ordered according to the order they are mentioned in the Holy Quran or according to the Arabic alphabet. The name "Allah" - the highest name (al-sim al- "azam), as a rule, is not included in the list and is called the hundredth. Since the Qur'an does not give an unambiguous list of names, in various traditions it may differ in one or two names.

The Qur'an prescribes the use of the names of Allah in prayers, dua, dhikr. In the lists, the names of Allah are usually given with the definite article of the Arabic language "al-". But if any name of Allah in prayer is mentioned not as part of a phrase, but by itself, then instead of “al-” it is pronounced “ya-” (for example, “Ya Jalil” - “Oh, Majestic!”).

“Allah has the most beautiful names. Therefore, call upon Him by means of them, and leave those who deviate from the truth concerning His names.”

Holy Koran. Sura 7 "Al-Araf" / "Fences", ayat 180

“Call on Allah or call on the Merciful! No matter how you call on Him, He has the most beautiful names.”

Holy Koran. Sura 17 "Al-Isra" / "Night Transfer", ayat 110

“He is Allah, and there is no deity but Him, the Knower of the hidden and the obvious, He is the Merciful, the Merciful.

He is Allah, and there is no deity but Him, the Lord, the Holy, the Pure, the Preserver, the Guardian, the Mighty, the Mighty, the Proud. Glory be to Allah and far from what they associate as partners.

He is Allah, the Creator, the Creator, the Giver of form. He has the most beautiful names. That which is in heaven and on earth praises Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise"

Holy Koran. Sura 59 "Al-Hashr" / "Gathering", ayat 22-24

Classification

All 99 names can be conditionally divided into two or three groups according to their features. Firstly, they distinguish between the names of the essence of God (adh-dhāt) and the names of His qualities (aṣ-ṣifāt), and secondly, they distinguish between the origin of the name: traditional names and names that follow directly from the Qur'an or indirectly from it. In the theology of Islam, there are more detailed classifications, in particular, among the names of qualities, the names of mercy and severity, beauty and greatness, and others can differ.

The concepts of "tanzih" (tanzīh) and "tashbih" (tashbīh) reflect the problem of anthropomorphism in Islam. Tanzih means the impossibility of comparing God with man. On the other hand, a person perceives the divine through the prism of his life concepts and capabilities, therefore, he describes God with such names as Independent, Illustrious, etc., corresponding to the tanzikha tradition. Tashbih is the opposite of tanziha, meaning the similarity of something to something. As a religious concept, it means the possibility of describing the divine through qualities created by God. Tashbih includes the names Merciful, Loving, Forgiving, etc. (Based on:
