of revelation whose authenticity is established.

6 - The shaykh’s concern—may Allah have mercy on him—in his explanation of the Most Beautiful Names to clarify each name’s meaning, how it points to Allah’s greatness, and the effects of such faith.

7 - Allah’s names are not limited to a fixed number, and no hadith specifying them has been established as authentic.

8 - The meaning of Allah’s Greatest Name and the reconciliation of the texts concerning it.

9 - Enumerating the Most Beautiful Names entails three things together:

a - Listing and counting them.

b - Understanding their meanings and what they signify.

c - Calling upon Allah—glorified and exalted be He—by them.

In conclusion, this is an effort that I ask Allah to make purely for His sake—glory be to Him—and to bless and make beneficial to those who authored, compiled, wrote, read or heard it. He is the One who grants this and has the power to do so.

May Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad and grant him peace, and all his family and Companions.
