← Home PATH 1 Know Allah and His Beautiful Names Begin with the One you worship: who Allah is, what His names mean, and how that knowledge changes your prayer, trust and character.
START IN ORDER
5 foundations 1 Who is Allah? Allah is the one Creator, Owner and Sustainer of everything, and the only One worthy of worship.
2 How do we know Him? Through what Allah revealed in the Quran, what is authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ, and the signs of His wisdom in creation.
3 Names and attributes A divine name identifies Allah and carries a perfect attribute: Al-‘Alim means the All-Knowing and includes perfect knowledge.
4 The safe foundation Affirm what revelation teaches, understand its meaning, deny any likeness to creation, and do not imagine how Allah’s attributes are.
5 What does ‘enumerate them’ mean? Learn, understand, call upon Allah by His names, and let them shape worship—not merely repeat a list.
LEARNING INDEX The well-known 99-name study list The hadith promises Paradise to the one who enumerates 99 names; scholars explain that this does not limit every name of Allah to only 99.

Arabic meanings are retained in this bilingual index; evidence notes are in English.
