99 names of Allah SWT

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

In a famous hadith, the Prophet PBUH said
"Verily, there are ninety-nine names of God, one hundred minus one. He who remembers them off by heart (and believes in them) would enter Paradise."
(Sahih Muslim, Vol. 4, no. 1410) .
A video that should help in knowing the names of the Creator that I put together....check it out:

We should strive to call to the creator using His beautiful names but how many times do we actually do that. For example one of Allah's names is al-Kareem (the most generous) but what I find in myself and others is we will make dua and say i.e Oh Allah just give me a little piece of Heaven when really if we reflect on that name....the most Generous we should be asking for the ultimate which is Jannat ul Firdous because Allah SWT is the one who can easily give it to us as He calls Himself Most Generous therefore we should be saying "Ya Kareem bless me with the highest place in Jannat", without feeling shy or hesitating.

We need to reflect on the names of Allah SWT and ask accordingly using those names.

All of Allahs names are beautiful,and so if you are impatient like me then it's good to say Ya Sabur which means Oh Patient one bless me with patience and you know what I've found my patient level has gone much better....improved tremendously ever since I have started calling on Allah SWT more. Each of Allah's names have a different meaning but I absolutely love al-Wali meaning the Friend and I often pray to God Almighty saying Please be my friend and I also love al-Wadud which is the Loving because in reality Allah SWT is the most loving .....He loves us even more than our own mothers.

As mothers we sometimes get fed up and shout /scream at our children but Allah never gets fed up of us in fact He is always there listening to us , watching us, responding to us in many different ways if only we could understand them. He really is the only true friend that we need in our life because unto Him is our return and there is no doubt about that....

I would like to finish this entry with a dua that I often make....

" Oh Allah make my love for You the most beloved thing to me, and my fear for You the most fearful thing to me and remove from me all worldly needs and wants by instilling a passion for meeting You, and when You have given the people of the world the pleasures of their world, make the coolness of my eyes in worshipping YOU Ameen."
