In the Quran, Allah has described Himself with 99 names — each an aspect of His attributes. The Most Merciful, The Just, The Forgiving, The Bestower.

These names are not isolated words. Each is a window into how you can approach Allah: in pain you call upon Ar-Rahmaan (The Merciful), in shame Al-Ghafoor (The Forgiving), in need Ar-Razzaaq (The Provider).

Khutba World offers each name with Arabic script, transliteration, English meaning, context from Quran and hadith, and a practical reflection on when you can especially use this name in dua.

Frequently asked questions

About the 99 Names

Is the list of 99 names from Quran or hadith?
From a sahih hadith (Bukhari). The specific names are compiled from Quran and sunnah. Some scholars mention slightly different lists; we follow the classical transmission of Al-Walid ibn Muslim.
Must I memorize them?
Not obligatory, but highly recommended. The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Whoever memorizes these 99 names and honors them will enter Paradise.' (Bukhari)
Can I use them in dua?
Yes, explicitly encouraged. You can use them in supplications: in pain invoke Ar-Rahmaan, in forgiveness Al-Ghafoor, etc.
Are they covered in 'Ask an Imam'?
Yes, more complex questions about the meaning or application of specific names can be submitted to imams via the Ask-imam feature.
