"He is Allah (GOD), the Creator, the Originator, The Fashioner, to Him belong the most beautiful names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, do declare His praises and Glory. And He is the Exalted in Might, The Wise" The 99 Names of Allah, also known as The 99 Most Beautiful Names of God, are the names of God by which Muslims regard God and which are traditionally maintained as described in the Quran, and Sunnah, amongst other places. There is, according to hadith, a special group of 99 names but no enumeration of them. Thus the exact list is not agreed upon, and the names of God exceed 99 in the Quran and Sunnah. The Allah and Prophet name are the most beautiful name and have very powerfull mean. There are many other names of Allah mentioned in the Holy Quran, but these other names are attributes of the creator. Allah is the best and the most suited name for God. It’s a common misconception that Allah is only the God of Muslims or people from the desert. In reality you will find Arab Jews and Christians calling upon Allah in their prayer, and even a Chinese Muslim will call upon Allah in his prayer.
Prophet Muhammad’s life and his traditions (Sunnah) are of great significance and Muslims follow his traditions all over the world. Allah SWT has 99 names (See Art: Names of Allah). The 99 names of Allah SWT are called ‘Asma Al-Husna’ which in Arabic means ‘The Most Beautiful Names’. These names are attributes of Allah SWT by which Muslims regard God.
