Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Learn all the best Names and call upon Allah by those Names.

Allah Almighty says,

وَلِلَّـهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ أَسْمَـٰٓئِهِۦ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.

[Qur'an Al-'Araf 7:180]

قُلِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ أَوِ ٱدْعُوا۟ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنَ ۖ أَيًّا مَّا تَدْعُوا۟ فَلَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ وَلَا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلَاتِكَ وَلَا تُخَافِتْ بِهَا وَٱبْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًا

Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.

[Qur'an Al-Isra' 17:110]

ٱللَّـهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ

Allah - there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names.

[Qur'an Ta Ha 20:8]

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

Allah Almighty has ninety-nine Names, and whoever keeps (and acts upon) them will be admitted to the Garden.

[Bukhari, At-Tirmidhi]

Allah Almighty orders us to invoke Him, by His Names, and celebrate His Praises by His Attributes.

Allah Almighty says,

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّـهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا ﴿٤١﴾ وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا ﴿٤٢﴾ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُصَلِّى عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتُهُۥ لِيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَكَانَ بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًا ﴿٤٣

O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance (41) And exalt Him morning and afternoon. (42) It is He who confers blessing upon you, and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful. (43)

[Qur'an Al-Ahzab 33:41-43]

وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ فِى نَفْسِكَ تَضَرُّعًا وَخِيفَةً وَدُونَ ٱلْجَهْرِ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ بِٱلْغُدُوِّ وَٱلْـَٔاصَالِ وَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْغَـٰفِلِينَ ﴿٢٠٥﴾ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لَا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيُسَبِّحُونَهُۥ وَلَهُۥ يَسْجُدُونَ ۩ ﴿٢٠٦

And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless. (205) Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate. (206)

[Qur'an Al-'Araf 7:205-206]

وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا ﴿٨﴾ رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا ﴿٩

And remember the Name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion. (8) [He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs. (9)

[Qur'an Al-Muzzammil 73:8-9]

Allah's Most Beautiful Names and Attributes are not restricted to those mentioned in the Qur'an or on the tongue of His Messenger, Allah bless him and grant him peace. There are Names which none of the creatures knows at all, and others, which has been inspired to those nearest among His servants as He pleases.

On the authority of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,

"There is no one suffering from a distress or grief and he says: 'O Allah! I'm your servant, son of Your male servant and female servant, my affairs is in Your Hand, (it is You) Who are decisive in Your Judgments, and just in Your Decrees; I ask You by every Name You have, with which You call Yourself, or inspire to anyone of Your creatures, or reveal in Your Book, or keep with You among the unseen (things), to make the Qur'an a spring for my heart, a light for my breast, and a cure for my grief and a (cause of the) removal of my distress', but that Allah Almighty will remove his distress and grief, and replace them with delight." It was sad:"O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn these?" He said: "Nay, everyone who hears these should learn them."

We ask Allah to increase us in beneficial knowledge and grant us the knowledge of Himself. Ameen. Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
