Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
I hope you are all in the best state of health and iman insha-Allah
i had to cancel the last thread as my main source was temporarily unavailable. Insha-Allah when i find more information and more credible sources I will continue that subject.
Right Now I will start something else...
The Most Beautiful Names of Allah (swt).
My source is a book entitled
"the most beautiful names of Allah. a gift of a lifetime." by Samira Fayyad Khawaldeh
I will also be using other sources which I will include in the individual posts insha-Allah.
I'll start off with an introduction insha-Allah:
“He is Allah, the Creator, the Originator, The Fashioner, to Him belong the most beautiful names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, do declare His praises and glory. And He is the Exalted in Might, The Wise." (Quran 59:24)
“The most beautiful names belong to God: so call on Him by them;…” (7:180) The Prophet (SAWS) said, “There are 99 names of Allah; he who commits them to memory would get into paradise.” It is very important to know the names of Allah (swt), not only do you learn about your Creator, you also get rewards. Of course make sure your intentions are pure.
NOTE: Arabic is a very complex language and its translation can be very tricky. It is not possible to perfectly translate the names and attributes of Allah from their original Arabic into English, directly. However, there are some very close explanations which I will give, insha-Allah
The reason of doing this is that I myself wish to memorize these Beautiful Names, and their meaning. Doing this will help me, and Insha-Allah will help you as well....
stay tuned insha-Allah.
Wa Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
