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.
