Iman and Aqaid 13
The Attributive Names Of Allah, The Great
Allah is the Owner of all good qualities. He is All Merciful, All
Compassionate. He is the Creator of all. He is the Rearer of all.
He sees and hears everything. He is the Almighty. All these
names taken together are called the attributive names of Allah
or Al-Asmawul Husna. Al-Asma means the names, Al-Husna
means the Beautiful. All these are called Allah's attributive
names.
Allah has mentioned His many attributive names in the holy
Quran. We pray to Allah mentioning His many attributive
names. Allah, the Great, is the source of all good qualities. At
all times in the day and night and in all conditions we would
remember Allah's many attributive names.
