Explanation to the Beautiful and Perfect Names of Allah "

Shaykh Abu 'Abdur-Rahman Nasir as-Sa'di
you can trust books which are written by the scholars who are know to be on the correct understanding of Islam (methodology of the salaf ).
the book which i recommend to you is written by reliable scholar of Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamaa'ah who is known to be upon the methodology of the Salaf.
you can not understand the deen on your own sister you need to acquire knowledge through reliable and authentic sources.
The manhaj (methodology) of the Salaf is to adhere to the Qur'aan and the authentic Sunnah as understood by the Salaf as-Saalih. The word Salaf is a shortened version of the word 'Salaf as-Saalih', which means the 'Righteous Predecessors'.
It refers specifically to the first three generations of Islaam in which the Prophet Muhammad (Sallalaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) described as being the best generations of Muslims. The first, the Prophet (Sallalaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and his Sahaabah (companions). The second, the Taabi'een (the followers of the companions). The third, the Tabaa'at-Taabi'een (the followers of the followers of the companions), This is the true manhaj of Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jamaa'ah.
I can not stress the importance of the science behind Allah (swt) names. If you acquire more knowledge on this matter then you will understand what i am trying to tell you, Which why exactly i recommended you that book.
have all the meaning in your heart is not enough.you need to understand the hadith on the light of how the salaf did.
you have to Memorise with the correct understanding of the names of ALLAH. in the manner the Salaf as-Saalih did if you want that hadith to take effect upon you,
if you follow your own methods you are prone to being misguided.
May Allah keep you upon true Guidance.
