The most beautiful names

The Quran says: "And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them." (Surah Al-A'raf, 7:180). A hadith reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim mentions ninety-nine names, and promises Paradise to whoever "enumerates" them.

Where this list comes from

The list shown here is the most widely known one, transmitted in a version of the hadith reported by At-Tirmidhi. Scholars have discussed exactly which names it includes, and other names of Allah appear in the Quran and the Sunnah: these 99 names are not a closed list.

How to learn them

Start with five names a day, reading them aloud with their meaning. Flashcard mode hides the meaning: try to recall it before you tap the card. In three weeks, you'll have gone through them all.
