ASMA AL-HUSNA · SAHIH AL-BUKHARI 2736

99 Names of Allah

“To Allah belong the most beautiful names, so call upon Him by them.” (Qur’an 7:180). Each volume below opens its own study page — meaning, verified references, and reflection.

The Prophetic promise

“Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one. Whoever learns them by heart will enter Paradise.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 2736; Sahih Muslim 2677 (Abu Hurairah). The hadith does not enumerate the names; the enumeration order used here follows the Tirmidhi listing, whose chain scholars grade as weak for the list itself — see any detail page’s Sources section.

How to use this collection

Search by number, transliteration, Arabic letters, or English meaning, then open any name to read its own page. Each study page gives the Arabic form, its transliteration and meaning, the Qur’anic verses where that name or its root appears, a short reflection, and the sources used. The index is arranged in the order of the Tirmidhi listing so the numbers stay consistent between the overview and the detail pages.

The well-known hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim mentions ninety-nine names without listing them. The enumeration used here therefore comes from a separate report whose chain scholars assess as weak for the list itself. Some names have no direct Qur’anic verse ascription, and those pages say so rather than supplying one. The collection is a study aid, not a claim that every name in this particular sequence is uniformly established.

For related reading, see Ayat al-Kursi and theDaily Duas collection. Names are also useful alongsidedhikr counted on the tasbih counter.
