                 The Beautiful Names of Allâh

                                    

                                     
                                The most beautiful names belong to Allâh:
                                           so call on Him by them

                                                                               Qur'ân 7:180, tr Yusuf Ali


                                      Call upon Allâh or call upon Rahmân:
                                  by whatever name ye call upon Him (it is well):
                                   for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.
          

                                                            
Qur'ân 17:110, tr Yusuf Ali



The glorious name Allâh, subhâna wa ta'âlâ,  is the greatest and most beautiful of all the names.  The name Allâh encompasses all of the divine names and attributes of perfection.

The name Allâh is the Arabic proper name of the One, while other names, descriptions and titles such as these ninety-nine beautiful names are considered to be attributes of Allâh, they are the signs by which we rcognize the wonder and glory of the Almighty One.

The essence of all attributes, descriptions and names are unified in this one name, Allâh, which denotes the sacred perfection of love, harmony and beauty.
 

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'ân 59:24, tr Yusuf Ali
 

                                           Allah! there is no god but He!
                                   To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names.

                                                                                      Qur'ân 20:8, tr Yusuf Ali
