Allah and the 99 names - Siffat, the attributes

Rely upon God to interpret the Qur'an and not the errors of men, no matter how well regarded those men are. The Qur'an itself says that the Taurat (Old Testament) and Injil (Gospels) are true and are not to be disregarded and the Injil (Gospels) are to be followed. The universe is finite only, for it is only the creation of God.

Qur'an

Surah 1 - Al Fatiha THE OPENING

001.001 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

001.002 Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds;

001.003 Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

001.004 Master of the Day of Judgment.

001.005 Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek.

001.006 Show us the straight way,

001.007 The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray.

Allah- the 99 Names

In the Quran the word "Allah" is said to be the name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'al, God Almighty, which he has choosen for himself. The rest of the 99 names are according to exegetes considered within the Ummah or community of believers, his "siffat" or attributes. These attributes are taught to be extremely balanced in nature and come into action when it is needed.


Some teach this:

الرَّحْمَنِ - Ar Rahman

According to Arabic Lexicon this "Sift" attribute of Allah Almighty described as the one and only who provides provision for the development on an urgent basis either that which is required by a human being, or other species or any thing which exists in this infinite universe.

[ Reference: Surah Al Fatiha THE OPENING - Verse 2 ]

THAT IS WRONG TO EVER CLAIM THAT THIS UNIVERSE, THE CREATION OF GOD WHO IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING THAT IS CREATED, TO CLAIM THAT THIS UNIVERSE IS INFINITE. ONLY GOD IS INFINITE. IF ONE WERE TO CLAIM THAT THIS UNIVERSE IS INFINITE, THEN GOD AND THE UNIVERSE WOULD BE ONE, AND TAWHID WOULD BE ONLY THE INVISIBLE UNPERSONAL REALM BEHIND THE VISIBLE REALM INSTEAD OF THE INFINITE NATURE OF GOD. FURTHERMORE, when one considers the Khafir, heretical teaching, of some that would try to bring in the mother goddess (originated from the Mesopotamian Sumerian as Nammu) as the vast primordial infinite sea of chaos that all emerged from and returns to then there is no difference between what they say and the Buddhists or Hindus with minor variations - all of it is FALSE AND BLASPHEMES GOD.
