The 99 Names of Allah

Walk through al-Asmāʾ al-Ḥusnā in nine themed days, eleven names a day.

Coming soon

This plan's lessons are being sourced and reviewed. Every entry will carry primary references (Bukhārī, Muslim, Abū Dāwud, Tirmidhī, Nasāʾī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad) and graded against the rulings of al-Albānī and Shuʿayb al-Arnaʾūṭ where scholars differ. We publish a plan once that work is done — not before.

Duration

Each lesson takes around 10 minutes. 9 lessons total — designed to be read one a day.

Description

The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Allah has ninety-nine names — one hundred minus one. Whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise.' (Bukhārī 2736 · Muslim 2677). To enumerate is not just to count, but to know, to believe in, and to call upon.

This plan groups the ninety-nine names into nine themed days — Mercy, Power, Knowledge, Justice, Beauty, Provision, Life, Oneness, and the Names of the End. Each day's reading takes about ten minutes: eleven names with their meanings, the Qurʾānic verses where they appear, and a short reflection on what knowing this name should change in how you live and how you ask.

Topics covered

  • The grouping of the ninety-nine into thematic families
  • What it means to 'enumerate' (iḥṣāʾ) the names
  • How to call on Allah by the name that fits your need
  • The names that pair: ar-Raḥmān and al-Muntaqim, al-Ghaffār and al-Jabbār
  • Names of mercy, names of majesty, names of finality
