Answer:
99
names of Allah
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.

Question: I also need "the three umoor of knowing Allah's names that is
--1- Asbath al Ism 2--Asbath al siffat 3-- Asbath al Asar
with each and every name. If i am not mistaken one is garanteed the entrance to
jannah after knowing the umoor and acting upon them and not just by memorizing
or reciting the names. (according to the authentic Hadeeth)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.419 Narrated
by Abu Huraira
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Allah has ninety-nine Names,
i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts
accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is Witr (one) and loves 'the Witr'
(i.e., odd numbers).”
Beloved
sister in Islam, Allah Subhanah has introduced Himself through His Noble and
Exclusive Attributes to His slaves, and it is only through Allah’s Exclusive
Attributes does a believer recognize, comprehend, revere, adore, and submit to
his Supreme Lord and Creator. Only if
one truly comprehends and understands the Noble Attributes of the Lord All
Mighty, can one truly love, revere, and fear Him.
These
Noble Attributes are not some chants, where simply by repeating a certain
Attribute ‘x’ number of times, one will get the desired result! If one recites the Noble Attribute of Allah
Who is indeed the Ar-Razzaak (The Provider) a billion times one will not become
rich, nor can one get his sins forgiven by chanting ‘Al-Ghaffaar’ a million
times, etc.
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; but shun such men as use profanity in His Names: for what they do,
they will soon be requited.
One may
call upon the Merciful Lord by any of the Noble Attributes one wills, and
supplicate to Him in all humility; but to call upon a particular Attribute for
a fixed number of times is not from the Sunnah or way of the Prophet
(saws). Never ever did the Messenger of
Allah (saws) repeat a particular Attribute of Allah a certain fixed number of
times, nor did he (saws) ever encourage the believers to do so. One may call upon or supplicate the Merciful
Lord using His Noble Attributes any number of times one wills; but to fix a number
of times to chant a particular ‘Attribute’, and believe that by chanting a
certain attribute ‘n’ number of times a certain or particular thing will happen
or will be given is absolutely against the guidance and teachings of the
Messenger of Allah (saws).
When the
Messenger of Allah (saws) has not fixed any ‘umoor’ or count, it does not
behove the believers to ascertain an ‘umoor’ from themselves; for that would
indeed be an innovation in the deen brought by the Messenger of Allah (saws).
Sahih Muslim Hadith 1885 Narrated
by Jabir ibn Abdullah
That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said in a sermon: “The best speech is that which is embodied in
the Book of Allah, the Al Quran; and the
best guidance is the guidance given by me, Mohamed (saws). The most evil affairs are the
innovations, and every innovation is an
error.”
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.
