The Allah’s Final Messenger (SAW) said, “Allah has 99 names, I.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.” (Bukhari)

Learning Allah SWT’s beautiful names is one of the keys to paradise; If we learn the names of Allah and try to live our lives by them, then Allah SWT will enter us into Paradise by His Mercy. Learning the names of Allah SWT also helps us come closer to Him because only when we know Him can we truly love Him.

The names of Allah SWT are a means for us to gain a deeper level of love and appreciation for Him. Allah SWT says in the Qur’an as quoted in the ayah above: “so call on Him by them.” Not only does Allah SWT instruct us to call on Him, but He instructs us to do so through His names. Allah SWT loves it when we ask Him and He loves to give, so in this beautiful exchange between us and Him, if Allah asks us to use His beautiful names, then how special and blessed must they be? How many of our duas would come true if we just called on Allah by His beautiful names the way He instructed us?
