Glossary Of ALLAHs All Beautiful Names

Allah: Translated as God, Allah is the proper Name of the Divine Being Who creates and administers His

creatures, individually and as a whole, Who provides, brings up, sustains, protects, guides each and all,

Who causes to perish and revives each and all, Who rewards or punishes, etc. All His Attributes are

Attributes of absolute perfection, and He is absolutely free from any and all defects. He is Unique andSingle, having no like or resemblance and nothing is comparable to Him. He is absolutely beyond any

human conception: Eyes comprehend Him not, but He comprehends all eyes (6: 103). God is the

Unique, Single Being with the exclusive right to be worshipped and to be made the sole aim of life. He is

loved in and of Himself. Everything is dependent on Him and subsists through Him. Every truth has its

source in Him.

Knowledge of God (in the sense of the Arabic lm) is impossible in respect of His Being or Essence

(Dhat). Because there is none like or comparable unto Him, it is therefore impossible to grasp or

comprehend His Essence. However, we can recognize God or have some knowledge of Him (in the sense

of the Arabic marifah) through His works, acts, Names, Attributes and Essential Qualities (shuun).

Awareness of His works (what we see in the world, His creation) leads us to become aware of His acts,

and that awareness leads us to His Names and Attributes which, in turn, lead us to His Essential

Qualities, and thence to an awareness of the One Who has these Qualities.
