Knowing Our Rabb (Part-3)

Narrated Abu Hurairah that Allah’s Messenger said,

“Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who Ahsaaha (memorized them all by heart, believed in their meanings, and acted accordingly) will enter Paradise.”

Something similar has been narrated by Muslim.

Knowing Our Rabb (Part-2): Where is Allah?

A valid question

Some think that asking “Where is Allah?” is wrong. They think that asking this is the same as asking what Allah is like or when did He begin. It is true that we cannot ask about the nature of Allah or when He began, because the human mind is incapable of comprehending the real essence and attributes of Allah and how they are.

Knowing Your Rabb (Part 1)

Introduction

To fulfill the true form of worship and servitude and attain the proper direction in our worship, we have to know the One Whom we are worshipping and directing our worship toward – we have to know the Attributes that He has. Allah has described Himself in His Noble Book with Attributes that He wants us to know and attribute Him with, so that our worship of Him can be proper and as complete as we can make it. If we have correct knowledge and understanding of Allah’s Names and Attributes, then we will never turn to anyone else or direct any form of worship to anyone other than Allah.
