Smile for Allah
I recently finished reading a book titled "Who is Allah? His Names and Attributes and their Significance to the Individual" by Umm Abdurrahman Sakina Hirschfielder. I thought it was a very good and insightful book, so I had made some summarized notes while reading (as it was a borrowed book) and decided to share them here.
I was under the impression that their were only 99 names that Allah has. But it said that the reward is only for memorizing and applying 99 of Allah's names, Allah has far many more names which have been evidenced in Quran and Hadith, and there are many names that have not been revealed to humankind.
