:salam2:

Asalaamualaykum,

these are names that we should implement in our lives as only by knowing Allah Azzawajal do we gain taqwa. Knowing and understanding HIS attributes is one way of gaining taqwa in our daily lives and relations with everyone we come into contact with.

The Greatest Acceptor of Repentance
The One who accepts the sincere repentance of His believing servants. The One Who is continuously turning (in forgiveness) to those that turn to Him (in repentance), Who forgives the sins of the penitent. He is the only One to
whom repentance is due. Everyone who turns to Allah sincerely, Allah turns to them by firstly granting them the ability to repent and turning their hearts towards Him, and after this He turns to them by accepting their repentance and forgiving their errors. He forgives; He accepts repentance and turns much in Forgiveness towards His slaves who turn unto Him. He saves His slaves from act of disobedience by returning them to acts of obedience. He is the Most Merciful who does not punish them after they repent. He does not turn down nor does He humiliate them. None can forgive the sins except Allah; sinners and wrongdoers who seek others besides Allah for forgiveness did not give their Creator the proper estimate He deserves. Allah’s Acceptance of repentance from
His slaves is a favor bestowed upon them necessitated by Him being the Most Merciful. Furthermore, Allah is the
Most Wise and He gives them respite to repent and turn to Him in obedience. He does not uncover the state of
sinners in the beginning, thus assisting them in their repentance. Allah ta’ala has also decreed certain means of
expiation for sins in this life.​

The Continuous Provider

The Only Provider and Sustainer of His creation.
There is not a creature on the earth except that Allah provides for it. He gives to everyone regardless of whether they accept Him or not. What He gives is understood to be anything which can be utilized, be it halaal or haraam.
He is the One who Provides and is in charge of all sustenance. He is the Creator of all means of subsistence who supplies them to His creatures. He provides abundantly and gives to the strong, the weak, the believers and disbelievers. He gives the believers an
additional means of sustenance and that is the nourishment of the heart with knowledge and correct belief.

[5:117]
The All-Watcher

The One who closely watches over His creation. The One Who sees what is hidden in the hearts. He is completely aware and knowledgeable of all that happens, including all that we may do in order to reward or punish us. The One Who is an Ever Watcher over His creatures; from Whom nothing is hidden. The One Who is not negligent regarding their deeds. He keeps records of all their work, thoughts, the fraud of their eyes and all that their breasts conceal. The One Who Preserves, Observes and Has perfectly ordered everything.

[59:23]
The Giver of Peace

Al-Qurtubi points out that the scholars have agreed that the meaning of this attribute revolves around "to be safe or sound" or "to greet". Based on this, scholars have identified three possible meanings:

1. the One who is free of defects in Him, His attributes, His actions, and His speech. He is free from resembling any of His creatures. He possesses the attributes of Majesty and Honor. He as well as all of His attributes are free from any defects or imperfections. His living is free from the defect of death, sleep and slumber. His knowledge is free from the imperfection of forgetfulness and the need to remember and think. His Hearing and Sight are true and real and best fit His majesty.

2. The One who greets His servants in Paradise, as in "[It will be said to them] 'Salaamun (peace be on you)', a Word from the Lord, Most Merciful." [30:36]

3. The One who protects His creation from oppression from Him.

The One who Answers and Responds

The One who answers and accepts the worship and supplication of His servants. The One who responds in general and specific ways. Invocations that come from the righteous and wrong doer as well, Allah responds in accordance with the status of the supplicant and as He sees fit through His Wisdom. Allah’s Special Response is granted under many circumstances and to certain people including the distressed person, the ill person, the oppressed person, the fasting believer, the invocation of the father for his children, supplication after the prescribed prayer, between the call for adhaan and the iqaamah.

[12:39]
The One

He is the One Who is singled out in all aspects of Perfection such that nothing else shares with Him in these. It is obligatory upon the servants to single Him out Alone in belief, speech and action by acknowledging His unrestricted perfection, His uniqueness and singling Him out Alone for all types of worship.
The One and Only One Ilaah (God), Whom there is no true god except Him—without a partner in every sense, whether it concerns His Essence, His Attributes, or His Actions.
The Oneness and Uniqueness of Allah demonstrates His distinctiveness, greatness, perfection, magnificence and majesty. Nothing is like unto Him, and there are none equal or comparable unto Him.

Allah
[1:1]
The One who is Worshipped and shown Servitude

Ismul Jalaalah, The Grand Name: Allah. This is Allah’s Personal Name. His Identifying Name. This Name only belongs to Allah, no one else can have besides Allah. Allah is the Title, the Name, of the One True Ilaah. The Grand Name: there is no plural, there is no feminine. The Grand Name appears over 3000 times in the Qur’an. He is the One and
Only Deity, the One Who is Worshipped and the One Who deserves to be worshipped by the whole of His creation, due to the Perfect Godly Attributes that He is described with. The One who is absolutely independent upon who all depend. He does not beget, nor was He begotten and there is none comparable to Him.

[112:1]
The One and Unique

He is One, Unique, and He has no origin. He is 'Ahad' - One and Unique - and everything else is 'ahadu shayy' - one of something. This name stresses the unique nature of Allah, and emphasizes that nothing can be compared to Him - NOTHING. He has no partner, no child, and no parent. He is the One Who is singled out in all aspects of Perfection such that nothing else shares with Him in these. It is obligatory upon the servants to single Him out alone in belief, speech and action by acknowledging His unrestricted perfection, His uniqueness and singling Him out Alone for all types of worship.

Al-‘Alaa
[87:1]
The Highest

The Most High One who is above all others. There is no one who is equal or even comparable to Him. He is also free from any supposed evil, and from what heretics and disbelievers may say about Him. To Him belongs highness in all of its aspects: Highness of His Essence, Highness of His Attributes and esteem, Highness of Strength and Power. He is the One Who has risen over His Throne and the One Who Has encompassed the dominion. He is the One in Whom all the attributes of greatness, grandness, magnificence and beauty find perfection and fulfillment.
The One Who is Most High; an absolute Highness in every sense. His Self is High above His creation—He ascended the ‘Arsh (Throne). His Attributes are High in degree, rank, magnificence, and are evident in their perfection. He has the Highest, greatest level of all of them, and there is nothing like unto Him in all of His Attributes. No one comprehends the state or the manner of any of His Attributes. He is Most High by being dominant over all His slaves; the One Who Has subdued all of His creatures—everything is subservient to His will and authority. Nothing occurs nor ceases to occur except by His leave. His subduing necessitates His Living, His Might, His sovereign authority, ability, wisdom, and knowledge, all of which are His Attributes.
