ASMA AL-HUSNA · 60 / 99
Al-Muhyi — The Giver of Life: الْمُحْيِي
Meaning
The One who grants life to bodies, hearts, and lands — with Al-Mumit (#61). 30:50 reasons from revived earth to the raising of the dead ("that is the Giver of life to the dead"). Bodily life and spiritual awakening share one Giver.
Textual references
No direct verse ascription for this exact name-form is established — the name is contemplated via the classical listing and related texts noted in Sources. This uncertainty is stated rather than filled.
The 99-names hadith itself (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736; Sahih Muslim 2677) does not enumerate the names; the enumeration order follows the Tirmidhi listing, whose chain scholars grade as weak for the list itself.
Reflection
Ask Him for the second life (of the heart) as confidently as you hold the first.
A personal contemplation aid — not doctrine and not a promised outcome.
