Arabic, transliteration and meanings: Islamic Network (aladhan.com). The well-known list is narrated in Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3507 (Sunnah.com), graded weak by Darussalam; that Allah has ninety-nine names is authentic (al-Bukhari 2736, Muslim 2677).
Questions
About the Names
How many names does Allah have?
The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah has ninety-nine names, and whoever learns them by heart will enter Paradise (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736, Sahih Muslim 2677). Allah also has names beyond these that He has kept with Himself.
Where does this list come from?
The familiar enumerated list comes from Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi 3507, not from al-Bukhari or Muslim. Scholars have discussed whether the listing is part of the Prophet’s words or was added by a narrator, and Darussalam grades this chain weak (da‘if). The hadith that Allah has ninety-nine names is authentic (al-Bukhari 2736, Muslim 2677).
How should I learn them?
A few at a time: read each name, its meaning, and call on Allah with it in your duas. Tap “Learned” to keep track; your progress is saved on this device or in your account.
