Ninety-nine Names of Allah

All good things must be started with the Holy Name of Allah. Since this is the first issue of this Web Magazine, I feel that there is no better way than to recount the Most Holy Names of Allah (SWT).

It is narrated in the Hadith that the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said: There are 99 names of Almighty Allah with which we have been commanded to address our supplications to Him. He who commits them to memory and rehearses them regularly will enter Paradise.

The Holy Names of Allah have to be pronounced correctly. Please refer  the  Arabic text  or consult your Arabic teacher.
