Page 12 - Names of Allah

the Qur’an He sent down 1,400 years ago and informs us of His
beautiful names. The various examples and explanations contained
therein display Allah’s infinite wisdom, intelligence, and artistry.
The verses provided under each of Allah’s names are from
Allah, Who mentions and then explains that particular name. Under
each name, you will find concise explanations reflecting the view-
points that will remind you of some details about the name in ques-
tion. Although these explanations are inadequate, for many
volumes could be written about just one of His names, we will limit
ourselves to concise ponderings that will broaden the reader’s view-
point.
The Names of Allah only conveys what is written in the Qur’an,
for we have no knowledge about His names other than what He
teaches us. Those that are out of our knowledge are, as is the case
with everything else, in our Lord’s Sight:
They said: “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except
what You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-
Wise.” (Surat al-Baqara, 2:32)
