Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none
can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.
We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai, nobody!) worthy of
worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His
slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Q-1: thanks for sending Allah's
names along with the meaning.you mentioned no.48 is Al Majid The
most Glorious one and no.65 also Al Majid The Noble. i think mr. burhan you have forgotton 1 name and repeated
Al Majid twice. could you pls write the miss name. I will
appreciate.
Beloved sister in Islam,
Al-Majeed (The Most Glorious One) and Al-Maajid (The Noble) are both amongst
Allah Subhanah’s Attributes. We
sincerely apologize for the spelling mistake in English in our original list.
Al-Majeed:
Alif-Meem-Jeem-Ye-Daal in Arabic
Al-Maajid:
Alif-Meem-Alif-Jeem-Daal in Arabic
Q-2: pls. let me know also can
i recite all of Allah's names after my 5salah so i can remember the
names, can i sy like Ya Rahmano, Ya Raheemo or just say Ar Rahman
Ar Raheem.
pls. clarify.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verse 110:Say: "Call upon
Allah or call upon ‘Rahmaan’: by whatever name ye call upon Him (it is
well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful
Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud
nor speak it in a low tone but seek a middle course between."
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraaf verse 180:The Most Beautiful
Names belong to Allah: so call on Him by them
The Arabic term ‘Yaa….’
literally means to call upon someone as if in audience or conversation and say
….’O….’; and the Arabic term ‘Al-….’
means ‘The-….’ and is used to describe the attribute.
One may call upon the Lord using
His Most Beautiful Names by saying ‘Ya….’,
or ‘Al-…’, both are valid. One may call upon the Merciful Lord anytime
one wills, and if one wills to call
upon Him using His Noble Attributes after one’s Salaah so that he may remember
them, there is absolutely no harm.
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 9.489 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he
who memorized them all by heart, will enter Paradise."
Q-3: When intending to do
something we say InshaAllah (if Allah wish).
so when expressing appreciation we say MASHA ALLAH, what is the exact meaning of MashaAllah?
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verses 23-24:
23 Nor say of anything
"I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow"
24 Without adding
"So please Allah!" And call thy Lord to mind when thou forgettest and
say "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer (even) than this, to
the right road."
Maa-Sha-Allah literally means
‘Whatever Allah Pleased’.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.

Islam,
