In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, his companions, and those who follow his guidance. Now then:
The hadith of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, has become widespread among people, in which there is a list of the names of Allah. Allah was named with what He did not name Himself with, nor did His Messenger name Him with, based on what came in this hadith. When I learned about the scholars’ weakening of this hadith, I wanted to collect its chains of transmission and the words of the preservers of its chain of transmission and text. After Allah granted me success in completing this research, I decided to publish it on this network so that the status of this hadith would be known, especially among the Salafis, as they are the people of the creed and its protectors.
So I say, seeking help from Allah: On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Allah has ninety-nine names, whoever counts them will enter Paradise. He is Allah, there is no god but Him, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the King, the Holy, the Peaceful, the Faithful, the Guardian, the Preserver of the Guardians, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Majestic, the Forgiving, the Giver, the Provider, the Opener, the Knowing, the Restrictor, the Expander, the Abaser, the Exalter, the Honorer, the Humiliator, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the Just, the Gentle, the All-Knowing, the Forbearing, the Forbearing, the Great, the Forgiving, the Grateful, the High, the Great, the Preserver, the Protector, the Reckoner, the Majestic, the Generous, the Watchful, the Responder, the Vast, the Wise, the Loving, the Majestic, the Glorious, the Resurrector, the Witness, the Truth, the Trustee, the Strong, the Firm, the Guardian, the Praiseworthy, the Enumerator, the Initiator, the Restorer, the Giver of Life, the Giver of Death, the Living, the Self-Sustaining, the Finder, the Majestic, the Eternal, the Able, the Powerful, the Friend, the Praiseworthy, the Enumerator, the Initiator, the Restorer, the Giver of Life, the Giver of Death, the Living, the Self-Sustaining, the Finder, the Majestic, the Eternal, the Able, the Powerful, the Advancer, the Deferrer, the First, the Last, the Manifest, the Hidden, the Guardian, the Most High, the Righteous, the Accepter of Repentance, the Avenger, the Pardoner, the Compassionate, the Patient

Praise be to Allah.
Knowing the Beautiful Names of Allaah is very important indeed, for the following reasons:
-
Knowledge of Allaah and His Names and Attributes is the noblest and best of all knowledge, because the level of honour of any kind of knowledge has to do with the object of knowledge, and the object of knowledge in this case is Allaah, may He be glorified and exalted, through His Names, Attributes and Deeds. Occupying oneself with seeking this knowledge and studying it properly is the pursuit of the highest objective, and acquiring this knowledge is one of the best gifts a person may be given. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained it very clearly and was very keen to do so, the Sahaabah never disputed in this matter as they did over some of the rulings (ahkaam).

How To Attain the Love of Allah
Everything that pleases Allah is a means of attaining His love. The following are some of the ways in which we can attain the love of Allah:
1) Reciting the Qur’ān with tadabbur (reflection).
2) Drawing close to Allah by doing nafl (voluntary) actions after the farḍ (obligatory) ones, as Allah says in a ḥadīth qudsī, “My servant continues to draw closer to me with voluntary acts until I love Him” (Bukhārī).
3) Constantly remembering Allah with the tongue, the heart, and your actions. How much you remember Allah will indicate how much you love Him.
4) Preferring Allah’s love over your own love when your desire overcomes you.
5) Reflecting on the Names and Attributes of Allah, and immersing oneself in attaining the maʿrifah (deep awareness) of Allah.

Love is the greatest station the seeker on the path to Allah (subḥānahū wa taʿālā) can attain. The love of Allah is the purest and greatest of all loves. It gives life to the heart, it is sustenance for the soul, and is the roadway to eternal success.
Love is the road to Paradise. It is the main reason why we worship Allah, and it is the only way to live a true meaningful life on earth.
Without the love of Allah, life is bleak. This is because there is a void in every person’s heart which can only be filled with the love of Allah. Without love, a person’s life will be full of sadness, anxiety, pains and regrets. On the other hand, when the heart overflows with His love, a person will experience bliss and contentment.

Ibn al-Qayyim wrote, “The key to the daʿwah of the Messengers and the essence of their Message, is knowing Allah through His Names, His Attributes, and His Actions. This is the foundation on which the rest of the Message, from beginning to end, is based upon.”
Allah said, “To Allah Alone belong the most Beautiful Names, so call on Him by them.” (7:180)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed Allah has 99 Names; whoever preserves them will enter Paradise.” (Muslim)
