Fatwa:

 All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  is His slave and Messenger.

Different scholars  tried to determine the Names of Allah which are mentioned in the Quran and the Sunnah . For instance, Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen  stated 99 names which he extracted from the Quran and the Sunnah , and they are as follows:

Ism1

 

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا  يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ  الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ﴿البقرة: ٢٥٥﴾‏

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.Surah Al-Baqara 2 verse:255

 

The-Attributes-Sifat-of-Allah-1The Attributes (Sifāt) of Allāh: His Attributes are Dhātiyyah or Fi’liyyah or both.

Definitions: Sifāt: Attributes of Allah. Dhāt: The Self of Allah.

The categorisation of the Attributes of Allah is based on whether the Attributes are intrinsically bound to the Self (or Dhāt) of Allah or not bound intrinsically to the Self of Allah. So according to this, the Attributes are divided into three categories:

  1. Attributes ascribed to His Self (Sifāt Dhātiyyah).
  2. Attributes ascribed to His Actions (Sifāt Fi’liyyah).
  3. Attributes ascribed to both His Self and His Actions (Sifāt Dhātiyyah Fi’liyyah)

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

 

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)

Preserving them includes:
