is One. He has no equal, none like Him nor any partner in His essence, in His
attributes, in His actions, in His orders, or in His beautiful names. |
|
Al-Ahad |
The
One Unequalled |
He
is the unity in which all names, attributes and their relations to any and
all are united. |
Anonyone
who desires that the fear and love for the creation be driven out of his

him all the time. |
68 |
As-Samad |
Free
From Want |
Allah
is the satisfier of all needs, and all is in need of Him. He is the

all trouble and to receive all that one needs through the blessings of this
name. |
Anyone
who places his head in sajdah at the time of Sehri and repeats this beautiful
name 115 times or 125 times will be granted spiritual and physical
truthfulness. Insha-Allah. Anyone saying it constantly while in a state of
wudhu will soon become independent of the entire creation. Insha-Allah. |
69 |
Al-Qaadir |
The
All-Powerful |
Allah
is the all-powerful who does what He wills the way He wills. He created the
universe by Himself, from nothing, with neither materials nor model. He said "BE" and it became. |
Anyone
who, after offering 2 rakaat salaah, says this Ism 100 times, Allah will

41 times before undertaking a difficult task, the difficulty will be removed.
Insha-Allah. |
70 |

creation, bringing some above and ahead of others. |

73 |
Al-Awwal |
The
First |
Allah
is the first. There is none like Him. His firstness means that there is none
prior to Him, that He is self-existent, that all comes from Him and that He
is the cause of all that became. |
Anyone
desirous of male children should say this 40 times daily for 40 days. His
need will soon be fulfilled. Insha-Allah. And if any wayfarer(musafir) says
it 1,000 times on a Friday, he will soon return to his people safe and sound.
Insha-Allah. |
74 |
Al-Aakhir |
The
Last |
Allah
is the last. As He has no beginning, He has no end. He is eternal. He is the
last in the sense that the circle of existence begins and ends with Him. |
Anyone
wishing that (i) the love of Allah becomes firmly established in his heart;
(ii) the love for anything or anyone besides Allah be driven out of his

75 |
Adh-Dhaahir |

the wisdom and reason that Allah has bestowed upon them. |
The
one repeats this name of Allah 500 times daily after Ishraaq, Allah will
cause his sight and heart to be filled with light and noor. Insha-Allah. |
76 |
Al-Baatin |
The
Latent |
Allah
is the hidden one. His existence is both manifest and hidden. To truly know
the creator is not possible because the knowledge, the mind, the
understanding of the created one are limited. |
Anyone
who says this Ism 33 times daily, will soon begin to perceive the deeper
secrets of Allah. Moreover, a strong bond of love and affection will result
between him and Allah. And anyone who continually says 'Hu wal Awwalu wa

offering two rakaat salaah, all his needs will be fulfilled. Insha-Allah. |

Waali |
One
Who Exercises Responsibility Over All Things |

His servants only good, comfort and ease. |
Anyone
in the habit of taking intoxicants or committing adultery or induldging in
any other evils should recite this Ism 7 times daily. He will soon receive
guidance. Insha-Allah. Excessive recital of this Ism is very effective in
expelling from the heart the love of this world. Anyone who reads it 7 times
and blows on his or her child soon after birth, Allah will grant the child
protection from calamities until puberty. |
80 |
At-Tawwaab |
The
Oft- Returning |
Allah
is He who constantly turns man to repentance. |

who is desirious that Allah guides him to seek sincere repentance should read
this beautiful name 360 times daily after Salatud-Doha (Chast). Anyone who

Allah's servants and His creation. |

who is justified and desires to take revenge against his enemy, but hasn't
the power to do so should read this Ism continually for 3 Fridays. Allah
Himself will take revenge on his behalf. Insha-Allah |
82 |
Al-A'fuw |
One
Who Pardons |
Allah
is the forgiver, the eliminator of sins. He does not often punish the ones
who deny, the ones who revolt. He accepts their recognition of their sins as
repentance, He erases their sins. |
Allah
will forgive the one who recites this name of Allah abundantly. Insha-Allah |
83 |
Ar-Rauf |
The
Kind |
Allah
is all clement. In spite of His ability to see our sins, of His being just,
of His being able to punish, the fact that He chooses to forgive proves His
infinite mercy and clemency. |
One
who desires that the entire creation becomes affectionate towards him and
vice versa should recite this name repeatedly. Anyone who desires that his
anger be subdued, should recite the first Salawaat (I.e Durood) 10 times,

Insha-Allah |

and balanced is the creation: all the beauties in heaven and earth -
mountains, seas, sunsets, flowers - and also the eyes to see. |

doubts created by the Shaytaan. If it is read 700 times for a purpose, it
will be acquired. Insha-Allah |
87 |
Al-Jaami' |
The
Assembler |
Allah
is the gatherer of whatever He wishes, wherever He wishes. Allah has gathered
together within this universe spaces, galaxies - stars, earths, seas, plants
and animals, things whose nature, size, shape and colour are different. |
If
anyone's family or relatives are scattered (due to war, earthquake, floods
etc.) he should bath at the time of Dhoha (Chast) and lifting the gaze
towards the heavens say this Ism 10 times. But this should be enumerated with
the fingers in such a way that with each reading, one finger should be closed
until all 10 fingers are closed. Thereafter the hands should be passed across
the face (as when completing dua). By doing so the dispersed members of his
family will soon come together. Insha-Allah |
88 |
Al-Ghani |
Free
From Need |
Allah
is the rich one who is self-sufficient. His essence and attributes have no
relationship to anything else. Someone whose existence and perfection depend
on another needs to earn that existence. Only Allah needs not, neither does
he need to earn. |

anyone says this Ism 70 times daily, Allah will grant him barakah (abundance)
in his wealth and self-sufficiency. Insha-Allah. Anyone involved in any

relieved of his difficulty. Insha-Allah |
89 |

Supplier
of Needs to Others |

is the enricher. He renders whomever He wishes rich and whomever He wishes
poor. |
Anyone
who reads the Salawaat (Durood) 11 times before and 11 times after saying
this name 1,111 times, he will be granted both material as well as spiritual

salaah. But the Surah Muzzammil should also be recited with it. |
90 |

The
Hinderer |
Allah
is the one who averts harm from His creation. |

any legitimate purpose, it will materialize. Insha-Allah |
91 |
Ad-Daar |
One
Who can Cause Loss |

associate him with the devout and pious - if Allah wills. |
95 |
Al-Badi' |
The
Deviser |
Allah
is the Originator of the creation, having created it without model or
material. He does not need previous knowledge to think, to first investigate,
to figure things out. Everything He creates is a wonder since He originated
it from nothing. |
If
a person in grief or sorrow should recite 'Ya Badi Assamaawati wal ard' 1,000
times, Allah will soon grant him relief from his misery. Likewise if someone
is involved in difficulties or is perturbed?If a particular venture is to be

way of a dream. Insha-Allah. Anyone wishing for a particular task to be
