These 99 names, known as “Asma’ul Husna” or “The Beautiful Names of Allah,” describe various attributes of God, such as The Merciful (Ar-Rahman), The Compassionate (Ar-Rahim), and The Creator (Al-Khaliq). Each name reflects a different aspect of God’s nature and is recited by Muslims for meditation, prayer, and reflection.

However, some people may mistakenly refer to “99 Names of the Prophet,” thinking it applies to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). While the Prophet is indeed honored with many titles and qualities, such as Al-Amin (The Trustworthy), Ar-Rasul (The Messenger), and Al-Mustafa (The Chosen One), these titles are not traditionally counted as 99 like the names of Allah. Instead, they are used to highlight his virtues and his role as a messenger of God. It’s important to make this distinction to avoid confusion between the divine names of Allah and the titles given to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
