📚 Introduction: The Names and Attributes of Allah
➡️ When a person loves someone, they like to know everything about the one they love.
➡️ Therefore those who love Allah (SWT) should strive to learn all they can about Him so that they will be closer to Him and worship Him correctly and accordingly.
➡️ Knowledge of the Names and Attributes of Allah opens the door to knowing Allah and loving Him SWT.
➡️ Therefore, those who are most knowledgeable of Allah amongst His creation will have the strongest love for Him.
📍 Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: "Know that none of you will see his Lord until he dies". Thus, one cannot know Allah by seeing Him in this life.
📍 Nor can human intellect alone comprehend or envisage Allah in a detailed manner. It is incapable of achieving this because Allah is from the unseen matters about which there is no way of acquiring any knowledge except by way of revelation.
⚪ Allah SWT has said:
وَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
“But you have been given only a little knowledge." [17:85]
➡️ Therefore the only way to know Allah SWT and love Him is through studying Allah's Names and Attributes from the Quran which Allah Himself revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Saheeh hadeeth where the Messenger of Allah taught us about our Creator SWT.
⚪ Glad tidings dear sisters you are about to embark on a journey through this course which will increase your knowledge of Allah by explaining His Most Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes.

📚 Introduction: The Names of Allah
➡️ The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
«إن لله تِسْعَةً، وتِسْعِينَ، اسْمًا، مِائَةً إلا واحدا مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دخل الجنة»
“Indeed Allah has 99 Names; whoever preserves them will enter Paradise.” [Muslim]
Preserving them includes:
1️⃣ Memorising them
2️⃣ Understanding their meanings
3️⃣ Praising Allah and calling upon Him through them
4️⃣ Acting upon what they necessitate. For instance, Allah’s Name ‘al-Raqīb’ means The Ever Watchful. You can act upon this name by abstaining from His prohibitions, knowing He is Ever Watchful over you.
📍 The names of Allah are not limited to 99 names, however the hadeeth above mentions the merit of memorising and learning 99 of them.
➡️ The belief in the Names and Attributes of Allah is one of the pillars of faith in Allah, the Exalted.
These pillars are:
1️⃣ belief in the existence of Allah
2️⃣ belief in His Lordship (Ruboobiyyah)
3️⃣ belief in His sole Right to all forms of worship (Uloohiyyah)
4️⃣ belief in His Names and Attributes (Asmaa was-Sifaat)
➡️ It is also one of the three categories of tawheed (believing in the oneness of Allah):
1️⃣ Tawheed Al-Ruboobiyyah
2️⃣ Tawheed Al-Uloohiyyah
3️⃣ Tawheed Al-Asmaa was-Sifaat
➡️ That is why the status of learning Al-Asmaa‘ was-Sifaat is of the utmost importance.
➡️ It is not possible for anyone to worship Allah in a complete way, until he has acquired knowledge of the Names and Attributes of Allah, the Exalted, in order to worship Him upon clarity.
⚪ Allah, the Exalted, said:
(وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا)
“And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them” [Sūrat Al-A’raaf: 180]
➡️ Calling upon Allah using His Names and Attributes is to be done when requesting something specific, and also when one calls upon Allah just to praise Him.
➡️ In Sha' Allah, together we will learn what Name of Allah one can mention when calling upon Allah to request something. We also learn that when one calls upon Allah to praise Him, he is worshipping Allah with the these Names!

📚 Some principles concerning Allah’s Names and Attributes
1️⃣ All of Allah's names are beautiful in that they reach the utmost limits of beauty.
2️⃣ His names are both titles and descriptions:
➡️ They are titles as they refer to Him: they are like synonyms, since they all refer to the same One - Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
➡️ They are descriptions as they each carry different meanings, with each one referring to a specific meaning.
3️⃣ The Names and Attributes of Allah are Tawqeefiyyah - which means knowledge of them is restricted to textual evidence and there is no place for intellectual free-thinking regarding them.
➡️ Based on this, we must suffice ourselves with what is found in the Book and the Sunnah, without adding or taking anything away.
4️⃣ They aren't limited to any specific number, and this is understood from the hadeeth where the Prophet (ﷺ) makes dua to Allah with these words:
أسألك بكل اسم هو لك سميت به نفسك، أو أنزلته في كتابك، أو علمته أحداً من خلقك أو استأثرت به في علم الغيب عندك
“...I ask You by every Name that You have, those You named Yourself with, those You revealed in Your Book, those You taught one of Your created beings, and those You kept with Yourself as knowledge of the Unseen ...”
5️⃣ All of Allah’s attributes are attributes of perfection - there is no imperfection in them whatsoever.
6️⃣ Knowledge of Allah's attributes is more expansive than knowledge of His names, since each one of His names includes an attribute. This is also the case since some of the attributes are connected to Allah’s actions, and there is no end to the actions of Allah, just as there is no end to His statements.
➡️ Follow us as we learn together some of the most beautiful names of Allah SWT and draw nearer to Him!

Allah's Name: الرءوف
Ar-Ra’ūf (The All-Kind)
➡️ Kindness is the highest level of mercy and Allah's name Al-Ra'uf shows that Allah is the One with complete Kindness, the Ever-Compassionate.
➡️ This beautiful name is mentioned 10 times in the Qur’an. For example, Allah says that which means:
"And Allah warns you of Himself, and Allah is All-Kind to His slaves" [Āl-‘Imrān: 30]
➡️ In eight other mentions of this name in the Quran, it occurs with the name Al-Raheem (the Most Merciful) as in Allah's saying that which means:
"Indeed your Lord is Kind and and Merciful" [Al-Nahl: 7]
➡️ This beautiful name instills love of Allah Almighty in the Muslim's heart and a hope for what He has. No one is ever more kind or merciful than He.
➡️ Kindness originally comes from Allah Almighty. He is compassionate towards His servants. He revealed the scriptures and sent the messengers to them, made it easy for them to worship Him and He accepts repentance from them.
➡️ Allah's compassion may be granted as a result of invocation. He responds to His servants when they invoke Him sincerely and earnestly, as Allah says that which means:
"And those who came after them, saying, Our Lord, forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and do not put in our hearts any rancor towards those who believe, Our Lord, You are All-Kind, Most Merciful" [Sūrat Al-Hashr: 10]
💎 It is said regarding the difference between kindness and mercy, as Al-Qurtubi mentioned: Kindness is a blissful favor in all aspects; whereas mercy may be painful at the moment, with a blissful outcome later. Hence, Allah Almighty says about the punishment of the adulterers: "And do not be taken by kindness for them in the religion of Allah.' [Al-Nūr:2]
He does not use the word ‘mercy’ here, for beating sinners on account of their disobedience is actually a form of mercy towards them, but not kindness.
