About the 99 Names of Allah
Among the most cherished knowledge in Islam are the beautiful names of Allah, the Asma ul Husna. The Qur’an instructs, “And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them” (7:180). Each name reveals a perfection of Allah — His mercy, knowledge, power, generosity and justice — and together they teach the believer who Allah is and how to relate to Him in worship, hope and reliance.
This page presents the well-known list of 99 names with the Arabic script, an English transliteration, and a concise meaning for each. You can scroll the full set or use the search box to find a name instantly — type part of a transliteration like “rahman”, or an English word like “merciful”, “forgiver” or “light”, and the list filters as you type. Everything is built into the page, so it works offline and nothing is tracked.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one; whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise.” Scholars explain that enumerating them includes memorising them, understanding their meanings, and acting upon them — calling on Allah by the name that fits each need, and letting these attributes shape one’s character and du’a. Use this reference to learn a few each day, to enrich your supplications, and to grow in knowledge and love of your Creator.
