Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
Insha'Allah you are all doing well.
Allah loves to be glorified and praised by His Names when invoked . Allah says: "The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on him by them" (Qur’an 7:180)
Insha'Allah at the beginning of each month, I will post one of His Most Glorious Names and describe it in detail using Samira Fayyad Khawaldeh's book entitled "The Most Beautiful Names of Allah".
This month's name: Allah (SWT)
"Truly, I am Allah; there is no god but I; therefore serve Me" (20:14). Allah is the most sacred Name that indicates the Being Most High, His oneness and His godly attributes. "Say: 'He is Allah, One; Allah, the Everlasting Refuge, who has not begotten, and who has not been begotten, and to whom there is no equal' " (112:1-4). No god is to be worshipped other than Allah. "And call not upon another god with Allah; there is no god but He. All things perish, except Himself" (28:88).
Things exist by the will of Allah. "When We decree a thing, We need only say: 'Be', and it is" (16:40). He supervises their affairs: "Surely your Lord is Allah, whom created the heavens and the earth in six days, then ascending His throne, ordaining all things," (10:3),...
"And He is God; there is no god but He. His is the praise in this world and in the hereafter; His too is the power supreme, and to Him you shall be recalled" (28:70).
While other Names are attributes, 'Allah' is the proper name of God, that has never been given to any other being in Islam or Jahiliyya (pre-islamic times).
Insha'Allah you have learned from this and I hope that we can implement what we learn for the greater good.
ma'asalaam =)
