Beautiful Names of Allah(Asma-Ul-Husna)

 99(Ninety Nine) Names of Allah

“The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on Him by them; but shun such men as to distort His names: for what they do, they will soon be requited.” (Qur'an, 7:180)

Allah is He than whom there is no other God, the Sovereign the Holy One the Source of Peace (and Perfection). The Guardian of Faith, the Preserver of Safety, the Exalted in Might, the Irresistible, the Supreme: Glory to Allah! (high is He) above the partners they attribute to Him. He is Allah the Creator the Evolver the Bestower of Forms (or colors). To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: Whatever is in the heavens and on earth doth declare His Praises and Glory: and He is the exalted in Might the Wise. (Qur’an, 59:23-24)

Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.) said, Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise. And Allah is Witr (one) and He loves ' Witr' (i.e., odd numbers).” (Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 419)

Abu Huraira narrated that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.) said, "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter Paradise." (To count something means to know it by heart.) (Bukhari 9/489 also see 3/894 )
