99 names of Allah

The name Allah derives from the words Al, meaning 'The', and Ilah, meaning 'Deity', or an object of worship.

Therefore, Allah is the only deity worthy and deserving of worship. The name Allah is genderless and has no plural. From this we capture how unique and profound this name is. It refers to a being we should love and commit ourselves to; the one who is worthy of all praise and the only one to whom all worship is due. This name is so powerful that is comprises of all the 99 names you will come across in this section.

"It is truly I. I am Allah! There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Me. So worship Me ˹alone˺, and establish prayer for My remembrance."
