THE EXPLANATION OF THE PERFECT NAMES OF ALLAH – Book Sample

Ar-Rabb (The Lord)

This name has been repeatedly mentioned in many verses. Ar- Rabb is the one Who nurtures and sustains all of His servants through regulating the affairs and granting all types of favours and blessings. More specifically, He is the one Who nurtures and sustains his sincere friends by correcting and purifying their hearts, souls and manners. This is why their supplications are frequently made with this Noble Name because they seek this specific nurturing.

“And your Lord is Most Forgiving, Owner of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they had earned then surely He would have hastened on their punishment? But they have their appointed time beyond which they will find no escape.” (18:58)

Allaah

He is the üne and ünly Deity, the üne Who is Worshipped and the üne Who deserves to be worshipped by the whole of His creation, due to the Perfect Godly Attributes that He is described with.

“Allaah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Living, the Sustaining. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatso- ever is in the heavens and the earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except with

His Permission? He Knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world and in the Hereafter. They will not encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He Wills. His Footstool extends over the heavens and the earth and he feels no fatigue in guarding them. He is the Most High, the Most Great.” (2:25)

Al-Malik (The King), al-Maalik (The Master and Owner), Al- ladhee lahu al-Mulk (the One to Whom belongs the domin- ion)

He is described with the Attribute of The Master and üwner. These are Attributes of Grandeur, Majesty, ümnipotence and Regulation of the affairs of creation. The üne Who directs all of the affairs to do with creation, command and recompense. To Him belongs the whole of Creation, all of it is subservient, owned and in continuous need of Him.

“Then High above all be Allaah, the True King. And be not in haste with the Qur’aan before its revelation is completed and say: My Lord! in- crease me in knowledge.” (29:114)

“Say: O Allaah! Owner of the dominion, You give the kingdom to whom You will and You take the kingdom from whom You will. You endue with honour whom You will and You humiliate whom You will. in your Hand is the good. indeed You are Able to do all things.” (3:26)

Al-Waahid, al-Ahad (The One)

He is the üne Who is singled out in all aspects of Perfection such that nothing else shares with Him in these. it is obligatory upon the servants to single Him out alone in belief, speach and action by acknowledging His unrestricted perfection, His uniqueness and sin- gling Him out Alone for all types of worship.

” ‘O two companions of the prison! Are many dif- ferent lords better or Allaah, the One, the irre- sistable?’ ” (12:39)

“Say: i am only  a warner and there  is no god ex- cept Allaah the One, the irresistable.” (38:65)

As-Samad (The Self-Sufficient)

He is the üne upon Whom the whole of creation relies upon in all of their needs, predicaments and necessities. This due to His unre- stricted perfection with regards to His Essence, His Names, His Attributes and His Actions.

“Say: He is Allaah the One * Allaah the Self- Sufficient.” (112:1-2)

Al-Aleem (the All-Knowing), al-Khabeer (the All-Aware)

He is the üne Whose Knowledge encompasses all the outward and hidden matters, the open and secret, all those things that must necessarily occur, all those things that are impossible to occur and all things that can possibly occur, of the affairs of the whole of creation, of the past, the present and the future. There is abso- lutely nothing that is hidden from Him.

“Verily Allaah! With Him (Alone) is the knowl- edge of the Hour, he sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow and no person knows in what land he will die. indeed Allaah is All-Knowing, All-Aware.” (31-34)

“O Mankind! We have created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know each other. Verily, the most honourable of you in the Sight of Allaah is the most God-Fearing of you. indeed Allaah is the All-Knower, the All-Aware.” (49:13)

Al-Hakeem (the All-Wise)

He is the üne to Whom belongs the highest wisdom, the üne Who is All-Wise in His creating and commanding, Who perfected every- thing He created, “.and Who is better than Allaah in judgement for a people who have firm faith?” (5:50)

Therefore He has created nothing out of mere frivolity and He has legislated nothing that is vain and of no use. The üne to Whom belongs wisdom in the beginning and the end. He has three areas of ruling which nothing else has a share in: He rules between His servants with respect to His Law, His Decree and His Recompense. Wisdom is to place something in its correct place.

“For those who believe not in the Hereafter is an evil description and for Allaah is the highest de- scription. He is the All-Mighty, All-Wise.” (16:60)

“it is He Who is the only God worshipped in the heaven and the on the earth. He is theAll-Wise, the All-Knowing.” (43:84)

Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Beneficent), ar-Raheem (the Most Merciful), al-Barr (The Generous), al-Kareem (the Kind), al-

Jawwaad  (The  Bestower  of  Good),  ar-Ra’oof  (the  Kind),  al- Wahhaab (The Bestower)

All of these Names are close in meaning, and all of them point to describing the Lord with Mercy, Generosity, Kindness, and to the great expanse of His Mercy and Generosity that encompasses all that is in existence, being granted in accordance to what His Wis- dom dictates. The believers have been specifically singled out for this, and they are granted a goodly and the best portion of this, as Allaah said,

“My Mercy encompasses all things and i shall decree it for those who have taqwaa.” (7:56)

So the blessings and the good are all from the effects of His Mercy, Generosity and Kindness just as all the goodness in this world and in the Hereafter is from the effects of His Mercy.

” ‘Verily, we used to invoke Him Alone before. Verily He is the Generous, the Most Merciful.’ ” (52:28)

“O man! What has made you careless concerning your Lord, the Kind.” (82:6)

“And had it not been for the Grace of Allaah and His Mercy on you, (Allaah would have hastened the Punishment). And that Allaah is the Kind, the Most Merciful.” (24:20)

“(They say): ‘Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us Mercy from You. Truly you are the Bestower.’ ” (3:8)

As-Samee’ (the All-Hearing)

The üne Who hears all sounds and voices, in all of their different languages and all their many and various needs.

“Say: if they believe as you (O Prophet and Companions) believe then they are rightly guided, but if they turn away then they are only in opposition. So Allaah will suffice you against them and He is the All-Hearing, the All- Knowing.” (2:137)

“And Allaah judges with truth while those to whom they invoke besides Him cannot judge anything. indeed Allaah is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.” (40:20)

Al-Baseer (the All-Seeing)

The üne Who sees all things even if they be insignificant and min- ute. He sees the black ant on a black stone in a black night. He sees what is below the seventh earth and what is above the sev- enth heaven. Also, He is Hearing and Seeing of those that deserve recompense in accordance to what His Wisdom dictates.

“Say: Shall i inform you of things far better than those? For the God-fearing there are Gardens with their Lord underneath which rivers flow. Therein is their eternal home and pure wives. And Allaah will be pleased with them. Allaah is the All-Seer of His slaves.” (3:15)

“Neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection. He will judge between you and Allaah is the All-Seer of what you do.” (60:3)

Al-Hameed (the One Who is praised)

in His Self, Names, Attributes and Actions, He possesses the best of names, the most perfect of attributes and the best and most complete actions, for indeed the Actions of Allaah are based upon Grace and Justice.

“Alif Laam Raa. A Book which We have revealed to you that you might lead mankind out of dark- ness into the light by the leave of their Lord, the Mighty, the One Who is praised.” (14:1)

“And indeed We bestowed upon Luqmaan wis- dom saying: ‘Give thanks to Allaah,’ and whoso- ever gives thanks, he gives thanks for (the good) of his ownself. And whoever is ungrateful then verily Allaah is All-Rich, Worthy of All praise.” (31:12)

Al-Majeed (the Glorious), al-Kabeer (the Great), al-Adheem (the Exalted), al-Jaleel (the Noble)

He   is   described   with   the   Attributes   of   Glory   and   Grandeur   and Greatness  and  Magnificence.  He  is  the  üne  Who  is  greater,  more exalted  and  magnificent  than  anything.  He  is  glorified  and  magni- fied  in  the  hearts  of  His  friends  and  close  ones.  Their  hearts  over- flow  in  exalting  and  magnifying  Him,  submitting  to  him  and  hum- bling themselves before his Grandeur.

“Owner of the Throne, the Glorious.” (85:15)

“All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Great, the Most High.” (13:9)

“Then glorify with praises the Name of your Lord, the Most Great.” (56:74)

Al-Afuww (the Forgiving), al-Ghafoor (the Forgiving), al- Ghaffaar (the All-Forgiving)

The üne Who was and is known with the Attribute of Forgiveness. The üne Who is described as having Forgiveness and Compassion. Everyone is in dire need of His forgiveness just as they are in dire need of His Mercy and Kindness. Allaah has promised forgiveness to the one who fulfils its conditions, He said,

“.and indeed i am All-Forgiving to him who re- pents, believes, does righteous deeds and then remains constant in doing them.” (20:82)

“Whether you disclose a good deed, or conceal it, or pardon an evil… verily Allaah is the Forgiv- ing, Most Merciful.” (4:152)

At-Tawwaab (the Oft-Returning)

The üne Who is continuously turning (in forgiveness) to those that turn to Him (in repentance), Who forgives the sins of the penitent. Everyone who turns to Allaah sincerely, Allaah turns to them by firstly granting them the ability to repent and turning their hearts towards Him, and after this He turns to them by accepting their repentance and forgiving their errors.

“Know they not that Allaah accepts the repen- tance from His slaves and takes the charity and that Allaah is the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful?” (9:104)

“O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, in- deed some suspicions are sins. And spy not, nei- ther backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it! Fear Allaah, indeed Allaah is the oft- Returning, Most Merciful.” (49:12)

Al-Quddoos (the Holy), as-Salaam (the Peace)

The üne Who is far greater and far removed from any imperfec- tion, or that He resemble any of His creation. Hence he is far re- moved from any defect just as He is far removed from anything resembling Him or coming close to resembling Him in any of His Attributes of Perfection.

“There is nothing like Him.” (42:11)

“There is no one equal to or comparable to Him.” (112:3)

“Do you know of any who is similar to Him?” (19:65)

“Then do not set up rivals to Allaah.” (2:22)

Al-Quddoos is similar in meaning to as-Salaam in that they both negate any form of imperfection, while at the same time include unlimited perfection in every way. This is due to the fact that when deficiency has been removed, then all that remains is perfection.

“Whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth glo- rifies Allaah – the King, the Holy, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (62:1)

Al-Aliyy (the High), al-A’laa (the Highest)

To Him belongs highness in all of its aspects, Highness of His Es- sence, Highness of His Attributes and esteem, Highness of Strength and Power. He is the üne Who has risen over His Throne and the üne Who Has encompassed the dominion. He is the üne in Whom all the attributes of greatness, grandness, magnificence and beauty find perfection and fulfillment.

“To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth, and He is the High, the Great.” (42:4)

“Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High” (87:1)

Al-Azeez (the Mighty)

The üne to Whom belongs might/honour in its entirety, the might/honour of strength, the might/honour of conquest and the might/honour of preventing. So He has prevented any of His crea- tion from encompassing and grasping Him, He is ümnipotent over everything that is in existence, the whole of creation is subject and indebted to Him and yielding before His greatness.

“it will be said: ‘Seize him and drag him into the midst of the blazing Fire. Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water. Taste you this! indeed you were (pretending to be) the Mighty, the Generous!'” (44:47-49)

“Blessed be He in Whose Hand in the dominion, and He is Able to do all things. Who has created death and life that He may test which of you is best in deed. And He is the Mighty, the Oft- Forgiving.” (67:1-2)

Al-Qawiyy (the Strong), al-Mateen (the Powerful)

These fall under the meaning of al-Azeez.

“Those who have been expelled from their homes unjustly only because they said, ‘our Lord is Allaah’ – for had it not been that Allaah checks one set of people by means of another, monas- teries, churches, synagogues and mosques, wherein the Name of Allaah is mentioned much, would surely have been pulled down. indeed Al- laah will help those who help Him and Allaah is the Strong, the All-Mighty.” (22:40)

“indeed Allaah is the Provider, Owner of Strength, the Powerful.” (51:57)

Al-Jabbaar (the Compeller)

This  includes  the  meaning  of  al-Alee  and  al-A’laa,  the  meaning  of al-Qahhaar,  and  the  meaning  of  ar-Ra’oof.  The  üne  Who  is  Com- pelling over dejected  hearts, to the one  who  is weak and  impotent, to the one who resorts to Him and seeks refuge with him.

Al-Khaaliq (the Creator), al-Baari (the Originator), al- Musawwir (the Shaper)

The one Who created all that is in existence, Who made every- thing correct and in its place in accordance to His Wisdom, Who Shaped it in accordance to His praise and Wisdom. He is continu- ously doing so.

“He is Allaah, the Creator, the Originator, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (59:24)

Al-Mu’min (The Giver of Security)

The üne Who Has praised Himself with Perfect Attributes and with perfection of magnificence and beauty. The üne Who sent His Mes- sengers and revealed His Books containing signs and clear proofs. Who testified to the truth of His Messengers by giving them every sign and proof that would prove the truth of what they came with.

“He is Allaah, other than whom none has the right to be worshipped. The King, the Holy, The One free from defects, the Giver of Security, the Ever-Watcher, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allaah! (High is He) Above all that they associate as partners with Him.” (59:23)

Al-Muhaymin (the Ever-Watching)

The üne Who sees all the hidden matters, all that the hearts keep concealed, the üne Whose Knowledge encompasses everything.

“He is Allaah, other than whom none has the right to be worshipped. The King, the Holy, The One free from defects, the Giver of Security, the Ever-Watcher, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allaah! (High is He) Above all that they associate as partners with Him.” (59:23)

Al-Qadeer (All-Powerful, the Able)

The üne Who has complete and perfect power and ability, by His Power He brought everything into existence, by it He arranges all the affairs, by it He fashioned and perfected the creation, by it He brings to life and causes to die, by it He will resurrect the servants for their recompense – rewarding the one who did good with His good and the one who worked evil with His Hellfire. The üne Who, when He wills a thing to be he merely says ‘Be!’ and it is. By His power and ability he turns the hearts and directs them to whatso- ever He Wills and Desires.

“For every nation there is a direction which they face, so hasten towards all that is good. Wheresoever you may be, Allaah will bring you together, Allaah is Able to do all things.” (2:148)
