The Names of Allah

“The Most Beautiful names belong to Allah: So call on Him by them…”
[Surah Al A’raaf 7 : 180]

 “Say : ‘Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman :
By whatever Name you call upon Him,
(it is well) : For to Him belong The Most Beautiful Names …”
 [Surah Bani Isra`eel 17 : 110]

We have been instructed to learn the Asmaa’ul  Husna (The Beautiful Names of Allah Ta’ala) and make du’aa through the medium of these names. Calling upon Allah Ta’ala by His Names facilitates the acceptance of du’aa.

Rasulullah (SAW) once heard a person calling Allah by this Great name of His :

‘Ya Zal-Jalaali wal-Ikraam’
[O Possessor of Majesty and Benevolence.]

Rasulullah (SAW) remarked : “Surely your duas will be granted. Ask of Allah whatever you wish.”

According to one Hadith, an angel is appointed by Allah so that whenever someone says the following words thrice, he (the angel) responds by saying : ‘No doubt, The Most Merciful has focussed all His attention towards you. Ask of Him whatever you please.’ …These words are :

‘Ya Ar-ha-mar-Raahemeen’
[O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.]
