99 Names of Allah- Esmaul Husna

According to the Islamic view man is created to serve, worship God. Paradise is promised to him as a reward for his efforts, and the highest joy in paradise is to be allowed to see God and to see the reason of all being. The goal of a real Muslim is therefore only the Creator himself. The world is unimportant to him, but in all things he sees the creative power of Allah. He is aware that no creature has power and strength, but Allah alone is the Mighty. This leaves no room for any pride, for the believer knows that he owes all he has, what he owns and what he has achieved to Allah alone.

The believer tries to direct all his efforts to Allah. Everything he does, he does ultimately only for and because of Allah. Allah's good pleasure is his greatest good. The more he thinks of Allah and lives for Him, the more Allah reveals to him His secrets and His nature.

But since it is impossible to direct our striving towards something we do not know, we can only think of Allah indirectly: through creation we see the power, might and beauty of the Creator; through His attributes mentioned by Himself in the Qur'an.

Allah's attributes are countless. These 99 names, however, are listed in the Qur'an, and with these names the believer is to call upon God and come nearer to Him:

 

And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allâh[], so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do. (180)
