Who is Allah, and how do we know about Him; connect with Him; and draw closer to Him? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) promised Paradise and Eternal Closeness to Allah through learning about Allah’s Names. He said, “Indeed, Allah has ninety-nine Names… whoever encompasses them will enter Paradise.” [Bukhari]
In this course, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani beautifully explains the meaning of the ninety-nine beautiful Names of Allah using the great classical commentaries on the 99 Names–including those of Imam Ghazali, Imam Qushayri, Imam Ibn Ajiba, Imam Zarruq, Imam Kafiyaji, and others.
Not only that, it explains how the beautiful names relate to God’s attributes which are detailed in the Science of Theology.
This course focuses on how each believer can:
(1) understand the meaning of the Names of Allah
(2) connect to Allah through each one of the Beautiful Names, and
(3) embody the implications of each of these names–qualities that make one beloved to Allah, and Each of the Names is explained in a manner that increases one’s awe, reverence, gratitude, and love for Allah.
Allah Most High has blessed the believers with greater means of knowing Him—through these Names—than any follower of any previous Revelation. This is a tremendous blessing.
We also see how the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) embodied and exemplified what it means to be a true servant (‘abd) of the Lord with the Most Beautiful Names, Allah Most High.
