Allah His Beautiful Names
-أسماء الله الحسنى-
The Glorious Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad teach us about the names of Allah, the One True God. For example, the Glorious Qur’an states:
{And to Alla h belong the beautiful names, so invoke (call on) Him by them.} (7:180)
When we supplicate to Alla h, we are encouraged to call Him by His beautiful names or by the name that is related to our request or need. These names do not indicate that Allah is more than one being; they are names that describe the different attributes that belong to the One True God (Allah)
