The Beautiful Names
هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡقُدُّوسُ ٱلسَّلَٰمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُ ٱلۡمُهَيۡمِنُ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡجَبَّارُ ٱلۡمُتَكَبِّرُۚ سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٢٣
He is Allah, than Whom there is no other Allah, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He is Allah, besides whom there is no god: the King, the Holy, the Source of Peace, the Granter of Security, the Guardian, the Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Allah is far above all that they associate with Him.
Insight
Elmalılı explains some of the names: as-Salam is the source of all peace; He is free of every flaw and brings to safety those who seek it. Al-Mu’min removes doubts and gives security to the fearful. Al-Muhaymin sees, watches over and protects all things.
Reflect
Choose one of these names and reflect on it during the day.
