verse. Allah's names are known as important hadeeth:

Abu Hurayrah narrated that rasoolullah ˜ said:

“Allah has ninety nine names; one hundred except one.

Whoever learns them by heart [and lives by them] will
enter Paradise.”
Reported in Al-Bukhari and Muslim

In the above hadeeth, rasoolul-
lah (The messenger of God)
encourages Muslims to learn the
great names of Allah. This means
learning them by heart, under-
standing their great meanings and
living by them.

Al-Aseeli, one of the great

scholars of Islam, explains this
hadeeth’s meaning to us and
makes the important point,
"Learning the names of Allah
means living by them, not just
saying or memorizing them."
