The holy book of Muslims, the Koran, says that the Lord has not one name, but many. The name of the Lord and the Lord Himself are not different, therefore it is considered a great offense to pronounce His names with disdain or consider them all to belong to different Gods.
It is known that Allah has 99 names. But this number has not been confirmed anywhere. Since He is the Lord, He can have innumerable names. But every true Muslim believer should know at least 99 names of Allah and their meanings.
Classification of names
The names of Allah are conventionally divided into several groups. The first includes names that define the essence of the Lord. The second group talks about the qualities of the Almighty. There are also traditional names, and there are those that are described in the Koran or indirectly come from it. The theology of Islam gives a more detailed classification. There, separate categories include the names of Allah, indicating His qualities such as kindness and mercy, severity, and another, for example, beauty and greatness.
In Islam, there are two concepts that describe names - “tanzih” and “tashbih”. The first says that man can never compare with God. The corresponding names also fall into this category. However, it is difficult for a person to perceive something divine without passing it through the prism of his human mind. Therefore, the names of “tanziha” include such names of the Lord as Divine, Illustrious, Independent, etc. “Tashbih” proposes to describe the Lord with qualities created by Him. Names such as All-Forgiving, Merciful, Loving, Merciful refer to the concept of “tashbiha”. It is said that one can understand the Lord by knowing the names of Allah. 99 with translations of the names of the Lord are able to fully describe His greatness and impress not only Muslims. Knowing the names of God, one can be imbued with His qualities and learn more about His all-encompassing power.
The 99 names of Allah and their meanings is a long list. This article will present only the first 15 names with translation and detailed description. The rest will simply be named.
Names indicating the essence of the Lord
These are those that belong only to the Lord. Man can never compare with God, so these names can only be used to call God. 99 names of Allah in Arabic are recorded in the Quran. Arabic names will also be presented here in Russian letters with translation.
Allah
This name of the Lord is mentioned 2697 times in the Koran and means - One Lord. The interpretation of the name is that only Allah has a divine nature and is worthy of being worshiped by everyone. He is the only one who deserves submissive and humble treatment. He alone should be worshiped by all living entities in this material world. It is with this name that the description of the 99 names of Allah begins. The list will continue with the next name indicating the essence of God.
Al-Malik
The meaning of this name is lord or king. Only the most perfect person, that is, the Lord himself, can be an absolute ruler. No one but Him can lead His followers so carefully. The Lord is not at all attached to any of His creations, but they are all supported by Him and depend only on Him.
Al-Muheymin
The Lord is the Guardian, Savior and Guide. This name of Allah is mentioned only once in the Quran, but similar descriptions of the Lord appear many times. "Mukheimin" is the one who gives peace and protection. Allah always stands on the side of those who unquestioningly believe in Him and give their all to the Lord. The interests of such believers come first with the Lord. This name has another meaning, which suggests that Allah is a witness to everything that a person says and does. But the result of these actions belongs only to Him. This name also means that Allah knows both the good and bad deeds of a person, and all this is recorded in the tablet.
Al-Mutakabbir
No one except Allah can possess True Greatness. And the name just indicates this. That is, the Lord is superior to everyone and is the only owner of all the greatness of Creation.
The qualities of Allah are higher than the qualities of His creation, that is, He has nothing to do with these qualities. All living beings cannot be compared with the Lord, that is, only He has the right to be proud, since He has all the opulence. And His pride indicates that He considers Himself rightfully the only creator, and no one can claim His place and desire the same power and honors. He disdains those who are arrogant and proud both in relation to Him and in relation to His other creations.
Al-Khaliq
The Lord is the true Creator. This is what this complaint indicates. He creates everything without relying on any examples, that is, He is the original Creator of all things. The fate of every creature He created is entirely determined by the Almighty. The Lord creates both the master and the skill itself, and is the talent in man. Allah knows all the qualities of each of the creatures, since it was He who endowed them all even before creation. From this name came the next name of Allah.
Al Bari
The Lord is the creator. Only He has the power to create all things. At His own discretion, He manifested everything that was unmanifested. And He did this without much effort. The Lord created everything with a word, simply pronouncing permission for something to happen, and it immediately manifested itself. He who knows this name of the Lord will no longer worship anyone except Allah. Only He will seek refuge and ask for help.
Al-Alim
The Lord knows everything, since He created everything and owns everything. He knows not only the deeds of every living being, but also his thoughts. It is impossible to hide anything from the Lord. He doesn’t even need to turn to an additional source of information, since everything comes from Him anyway. Everything is in Him and He is everywhere, so even the smallest particle is not hidden from His eyes. Moreover, only the Lord knows what happened in the past and what will happen in the future.
Ar-Rahim
The 99 names of Allah and their meanings can also speak about the qualities of the Lord. The name Ar-Rahim indicates the boundless mercy of the Almighty. In the Koran, this name appears before almost every sura. The Lord shows special mercy to those who believe in Him and are submissive to Him. There is another name of Allah - Ar-Rahman, but it speaks of the Lord’s boundless compassion for everyone, while the name Ar-Rahim speaks only of mercy towards those who are devoted to Allah.
Al-Mumin
Only God can give complete protection to all living beings, only He will save you from any trouble if you humbly ask Him for protection. This name has two aspects: Lord - protection and stability and unshakable faith in the heart. This indicates that faith is a priceless gift of the Lord, and that it is she who protects a person. A believer is called a "mumin" in Arabic. This name comes from the word “faith”. The names of Allah are so diverse. 99, presented here with translation, are the most common. But in fact there are many more of them.
Al Ghaffar
Every person commits many sins during his life. Whether this happens consciously or not, only the Lord can forgive for sinful actions. He sees only positive qualities in His devotees, and turns a blind eye to all negative ones. In this life, their sins become invisible, and in the future the Lord does not punish them for them. Those who sincerely turn to the Lord and repent of their wrongdoing are rewarded with a special blessing to atone for their guilt through virtuous deeds.
The 99 names of Allah indicate the special qualities of the Lord. The list will continue with the name of the Most High, indicating His complete power.
Al-Kabid
The Lord reduces or limits benefits at His own discretion. Every soul is under His power. Only the Lord can be thanked for all blessings, since only He gives them to His sincere slaves. But from those who commit sinful acts, He can take away everything. The most important thing is that the Lord deprives them of the opportunity to know Him, since He cannot forgive anyone for arrogance and disobedience. This name means "diminisher."
99 names of Allah in Russian may not fully convey the entire meaning. Therefore, it is necessary to look for the interpretation of a particular name in the Holy Scriptures.
Al-Halim
This name is special. A person who understands the meaning of this name of the Lord will acquire qualities such as restraint, calmness, gentleness and meekness. This is exactly how this name is translated. The Lord bestows His mercy on everyone. And those who are devoted to Him, and those who disobeyed Him. He is not angry and is in no hurry to punish, despite all his power.
The 99 names of Allah and their meanings are all described in the Quran and other Muslim scriptures. A person who studies these books will eventually realize every quality of the Lord and understand all His greatness. This in turn will strengthen his faith.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Whoever remembers the 99 names of Allah (Allah) and repeats them often will definitely enter Paradise.”
“Allah (Allah) has 99 names that we mention in dua. Whoever learns and reads them will enter Paradise.”
“Just as friction with the earth cleanses iron from rust, so repeating the Names of Allah (Allah) cleanses our hearts of all bad things.”
Sayings of pious people:
“Help yourself by repeating the Names of Allah”
“The fastest way to the knowledge of God is regular, constant dhikr with the heart”
“Every second, with every breath, remember Allah”
“The water that will cleanse your heart are the names of Allah”
“Wherever you are, you should remember Allah”
ATTENTION:
If you read any of these Names of Allah selectively, then you must read with the addition of “Ya” at the beginning instead of the initial articles “al-”, “ar-”, “az-” and so on. Those. for example, the name “Ar-Rahmaan” is read in this case as
“Yya-Rahmaan”,
in the same way, “As-Samiiu” should be read as “Ya-Samiiu”,
“As-Salayamu” - “Ya-Salayamu”, “Al-Latyyfu” - “Ya-Latyyfu”, etc.

Note:
The given interpretations of the Beautiful Names of Allah are very brief.
This is the greatest name of Allah, indicating His divine essence. This name embraces all 99 beautiful names of Allah and is a special name of the highest essence of the Almighty. No one else is called this name.
Note: Islamic theologians have conveyed that it is important to pronounce the Name of our Lord correctly. The last letter in the word “Allah” is pronounced in accordance with the phonetics of the Arabic language: Arabic ([ha]) is close in pronunciation to the English or Tatar “h” and Ukrainian “g”.
2. AR-RAHMAAN
All-Merciful, Possessing the broadest mercy and blessings, Merciful in this world to all His creatures: both to those who are worthy of mercy and to those who are not worthy of it, that is, to believers and non-believers, Muslims and non-Muslims. No one else is given this name either.
3. AR-RAHIIM
The Merciful, the Ever-Showing Mercy, the Possessor of Infinite Mercy; Showing mercy in the next world only to believing, obedient slaves.
This name indicates the special mercy of the Lord towards believers. He showed them great mercy: first, when He created them; secondly, when he guided him on the straight path and bestowed faith; thirdly, when he will make them happy in the last life; fourthly, when He grants them the grace to behold His noble face.
A person who knows Allah through these two names (Ar-Rahmaan and Ar-Rahiim) makes his efforts on the path of delivering the lost and sinners from the wrath of Allah and His punishment, leading them to His forgiveness and mercy, and on the path of satisfying the needs of people, providing help them and pray to Allah for them.

The given interpretations of the beautiful names of Allah are brief and do not cover the full depth of their meaning.
In contact with
According to the Koran:
“Allah has beautiful names; call Him after them and leave those who schismatic about His names. They will be rewarded for what they do!”
General information
The number of names of Allah (which can also be understood as aspects of God) combined into a single list is determined by the words of the prophet Muhammad:
“Verily, Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred minus one. everyone who remembers them will enter heaven.”
The Koran prescribes their use in prayer:
“Allah has the most beautiful names. Therefore call upon Him through them, and leave those who deny His names.”
Al-Araf 7:180 (Kuliyev)
In academic works, names are often arranged according to the order in which they appear in the Qur'an.
At the same time, there is a tradition of ordering them according to the Arabic alphabet.
The name "Allah" is usually not included in the list and, being characterized as the highest (al-sim al-"azam), is often called the hundredth. Since the Qur'an does not give an unambiguous list of names, in different traditions it may differ in one or two names.
In lists, the names of Allah are usually given with the Arabic definite article al-. But if the name of Allah in a prayer is mentioned not as part of a phrase, but by itself, then instead of al- it is pronounced ya- (“Ya-Salam” - “O Peacemaker!”).
Classification
All 99 names can be divided into two or three groups according to their characteristics.
Firstly, they distinguish between the names of the essence of God (adh-dhāt) and the names of His qualities (aṣ-ṣifāt), and secondly, they distinguish between the origin of the name: traditional names and names that follow directly from the Koran or indirectly from it.
In the theology of Islam, there are more detailed classifications, in particular, among the names of qualities, the names of mercy and severity, beauty and greatness, and others can be distinguished.
The concepts of tanzīh and tashbīh reflect the problem of anthropomorphism in Islam.
Tanzih means that it is impossible to compare God with man. On the other hand, a person perceives the divine through the prism of his life concepts and capabilities, therefore, he describes God with such names as Independent, Illustrious, etc., corresponding to the tanziha tradition. Tashbikh is the opposite of tanzikh, implying the similarity of something to something.
As a religious concept, it means the ability to describe the divine through qualities created by God.
Tashbikh includes the names Merciful, Loving, Forgiving, etc.
According to the Qur'an, no one and nothing can equal or be like Allah.
On the other hand, the Quran describes Allah using the attributes of man or human life - hands, throne. As a result, questions arise: is God different from His creation and how legitimate is it to describe Him by comparison with the creations of Allah.
The answers are the subject of debate in classical Islamic theology.
Currently, the more common concept is that of the early 10th century theologian and philosopher al-Ashari.
According to this concept, the description of Allah given in the Quran and Hadith should be perceived as truth. At the same time
“God has unique differences from His creations, but their essence is unknown.”
Rules
If the names of Allah come from derived verbs, then the laws of Sharia flow from such names.
For example, if robbers repent of their crime, then the established punishment is not applied to them.
And they rely on the following statement from the Koran:
“This does not apply to those who repented before you prevailed over them. Let it be known to you that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful!”
The mention of these two names indicates that Allah forgives such people and shows compassion towards them, saving them from the established punishment.
List of names
№ Arabic Practical transcription Transliteration Meaning Mentions in the Koran Comments الله Allah (inf.) Allah Allah, God, One God See Comments column The name “Allah” is mentioned 2697 times in the Quran. In translations it is often used as a synonym for the word “God”, but for Muslims “Al Lah” at the same time means “the oneness of God”. The etymology of the Arabic word “Allah” is not fully understood. It can appear in a person’s name only in a form like Abd-Allah (servant of God). 1 الرحمن Ar-Raḥmān (inf.) Ar-Rahman Gracious, All-Beneficent, Merciful, Compassionate With the exception of the beginnings of the suras, the name ar-Rahman is mentioned 56 times in the Qur'an and most often in the 19th sura. It can be used exclusively to address Allah. It has many meanings related to the concept of mercy. Some Islamic theologians, based on the words of Muhammad, deduce the origin of the names ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim from the Arabic word ar-Raḥman, meaning mercy. According to Aramaist Jonah Greenfeld. Jonas C. Greenfield), ar-Rahman, unlike the word ar-rahim, is borrowed, which determines its complex structure of meanings. In Islamic theology, the name al-Rahim is considered to include all types of God's compassion (having mercy), while al-Rahman means action towards believers (showing mercy). 2 الرحيم Ar-Raḥīm (inf.) Ar-Rahim Merciful In the verses and beginning of every sura, except one. Mentioned in the Qur'an 114 times in relation to Allah. Often found together with the name al-Rahman. It is believed to be derived from the word ar-Raḥman meaning mercy. In Islamic theology, the name ar-Rahman is considered to include all types of compassion of God, while ar-Rahim means action towards believers and it can be used as a characteristic of a person. 3 الملك Al-Malik (inf.) Al-Malik Tsar Ta Ha 20:114, Al-Muminun 23:116, Al-Hashr 59:23, Al-Jumua 62:1, An-Nas 114:2 Here it means the king of kings, the absolute ruler who carefully leads his followers. It can serve as the basis for the formation of a name, for example Abdulmalik (slave of the king). Sahihi Al-Bukhari and Muslim quote the words of the Prophet Muhammad that the name al-Malik is the most accurately describing Allah as the highest king. This name is found in the Koran in three linguistic forms: al-Malik (occurs five times), al-Mālik (occurs twice, see Malik al-Mulk) and al-Malīk (occurs once). The corresponding words in Arabic have different semantic connotations, meaning the person whose orders are carried out, the one who owns, and the one who can prohibit something from others. In the case of 99 names, the semantic difference is erased, and each of the forms in a specific verse gives emphasis to its content. In fact, they are related to each other in the same way as the names ar-Rahman and ar-Rahim. 4 القدوس Al-Quddūs (inf.) Al-Quddus Saint Al-Hashr 59:23, Al-Jumua 62:1 The name is based on the word Quadusa, meaning to be pure, holy. This name is also translated as the Most Pure, to signify that Allah is free from vices, shortcomings and human sins. 5 السلام As-Salām (inf.) As-Salam Most Pure, Giver of Peace and Prosperity, Peacemaker, Exceptional Al-Hashr 59:23 Allah protects believers from all dangers. Being the source of peace and harmony, he grants peace and protection of Paradise to believers. 6 المؤمن Al-Mu'mim (inf.) Al-Mumin Protector, Giver of Security, Giver of Faith, Guide of Faith, Guarantee of Protection Al-Hashr 59:23 The name al-Mumin considers two aspects: God as a source of stability and security on the one hand, and as a source of faith in the human heart on the other. It is explained that faith is the highest gift of Allah and it protects from any harm. This name comes from the verb “to believe”, like the Arabic name for a believer - mumin. 7 المهيمن Al-Muhaymin (inf.) Al-Muheymin Guardian, Trustee, Guide, Savior Al-Hashr 59:23 It is explicitly mentioned once in the Quran, but the corresponding descriptions of Allah appear more than once. The word "muhaymin" has several meanings and in this case it is interpreted as the name of one who provides peace and protection. Its theological meaning lies in the description of Allah as the one who protects the interests of believers. Another meaning of it describes Allah as a witness to all words and actions of a person, protecting their results. Also, the meaning of the name is interpreted as a reminder that all good and bad deeds of a person are known to Allah and they are all written down in the Preserved Tablet. 8 العزيز Al-Azīz (inf.) Al Aziz Mighty, Almighty, Winner Al-Imran 3:6, An-Nisa 4:158, Tawbah 9:40, Tawbah 9:71, Al-Fath 48:7, Al-Hashr 59:23, As-Saaf 61:1 It is indicated that there is no one more powerful than Allah. As manifestations of the power of Allah in Islamic theology, God's creation of people, their actions, help to the righteous, and the creation of natural phenomena are listed. 9 الجبار Al-Jabbār (inf.) Al-Jabbar Mighty, Subjugating, Bogatyr (Correcting by Force), Irresistible Al-Hashr 59:23 Traditionally, the translation of this name from Arabic is associated with the aspect of strength, the ability to subjugate. English translations tend to use the term The Despot to emphasize the idea that no one can control God, but rather that Allah has the power of coercion, specifically the compulsion to follow one path or another. Since following Allah is the best choice, the benefit for man associated with this quality of God is emphasized. The second interpretation is related to the word jabbarah, which is usually translated as "too high to be reached". From this it follows that Allah is placed higher than anyone else.
In Arabic Transliteration Translation Meaning in the Quran 11 المتكبر Al-Mutakabbir Superior 2:260; 7:143; 59:23; Surpassing all creation; He whose qualities are higher than the qualities of creations is pure from the qualities of creations; The only Possessor of True Greatness; He who finds all His creatures insignificant in comparison with His essence, for no one is worthy of pride except Him.

Common name Ar-Rabb(Ar-Rabb, Arabic: الرب ) translated as Lord or Master, the One who has the power to rule.
It applies only in relation to Allah, for people the construction is used Rabb Ad-Dar. Ibn Arabi names three main names of God: Allah, ar-Rahman and ar-Rabb. Ar-Rabb is used in the phrase "Allah, Lord of the Worlds" ( Rabb al-"Ālamīn), where alam (pl. alamin) means everything except Allah.
Among other names of Allah not included in the traditional list, the Quran mentions al-Mawlā (al-Mawlā, Arabic: المولى , Patron), an-Nasir (an-Nāṣir, Arabic: الناصر , Helper), al- Ghalib (al-Ghālib, Arabic: الغالب Conqueror), al-Fāṭir (Arabic: الفاطر , Creator), al-Qarib (Arabic: القریب , Nearest ) and others.
Cultural aspects
All suras of the Koran except the ninth begin with a phrase called bismillah - “in the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.” These words are often said in prayers and precede all official documents.
The names of Allah should not be used in oaths, as warned in Hadith al-Qudsi and the Quran.
As a negative example, a story is given about a man who swore by Allah that God would not forgive a certain sin, and thereby cast doubt on the forgiveness of the Almighty and crossed out his good deeds. Superlatives in Hadith are sometimes expressed through the mention of attributes such as the glory of God, but not names, in figurative oaths.
The names of Allah are used in dhikr - a prayer consisting of repeated repetition of an appeal to God. Zikr is considered key in Sufi practice.
It is allowed to accompany the prayer repetition with singing and accompaniment on musical instruments.
Prayers that consist of repeating the 99 names of Allah are called wazifa.
The number of repetitions in them can reach tens of thousands. Wazifa is performed both individually and collectively.
To facilitate counting during silent prayer to God, subha (rosary beads) are sometimes used. They consist of 99 or 33 beads, each of which corresponds to one of the 99 names of Allah.
During the prayer for them, the phrases “praise be to Allah” (subhana Alahi), “glory to Allah” (al-hamdu li Alahi) and “Allah is great” (Allahu Akbar) are said 33 times.
