These names, when used in dhikr - remembering Allah - and in supplication, lead to the acceptance of prayers and result in the accumulation of good deeds. The Asma ul Husna awakens respect in servants toward Allah, connoting Allah's sublimity and transcendence. The phrase Asma ul Husna, made up of the word asma, the plural for 'name', and husna, meaning beautiful or most beautiful, means 'Allah's most beautiful names.' The names which are attributes of Allah can be found in the Holy Quran and the sunnah.Ību Bakr Ibn'ul Arabi lists the reasons why these attributes of Allah are revealed to us as follows: With the exception of this name, all other names that describe Allah in the Holy Quran are known as the Asma ul Husna following the revelation: ' The most beautiful names belong to Him (Allah).' (Surah Al-Hashr, verse 24).

The essential name of the Almighty Creator, which is confirmed by the religion of Islam, 'Allah' has no dictionary meaning.

'To gain everything except Allah is to gain nothing at all.'*
