Mercy and forgiveness
ٱلرَّحْمَةAllah opens every chapter of the Quran (except one) with His mercy. These are the Names of forgiveness, gentleness, and the door that never closes.
Each name is a window. Arabic, transliteration, and a brief English meaning for all 99. Tap any name for its own page, or use the search to jump.
The 99 names are not a list to memorise alphabetically. They cluster around themes. Reading them together opens the meaning in a way reading them in number order rarely does.
Allah opens every chapter of the Quran (except one) with His mercy. These are the Names of forgiveness, gentleness, and the door that never closes.
Names of the King. Reading them resets the heart on who is actually in charge.
When the Quran wants to comfort the believer or warn the heedless, it returns to these Names.
Allah hears the silent whisper, sees the inside of the heart, knows the leaf that falls in a dark forest with no witness.
He shaped you in the womb, He shapes the galaxies. These Names speak of bringing into being.
Every breath, every meal, every drop of water. The Names of the Provider.
When everything else is gone, the Names that remain. The First, the Last, the Ever-Living.
No one is ever wronged by Allah. These are the Names of perfect fairness.
Without His light no eye sees the path. The Names of direction and answered prayer.
Whom else would we trust? These are the Names called on when there is nowhere else to turn.
The Names that describe how Allah moves the world. He gives, He withholds, He raises, He lowers.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one. Whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise." (Bukhari and Muslim). The list circulated here follows the well-known narration of Tirmidhi. Other hadith experts consider the list illustrative rather than fixed, and scholars note that Allah's names are not limited to 99. These are simply the ones taught to us.
To "enumerate" (iḥṣāʾ) them means more than counting: learn them, believe their meanings, and let them shape your speech and your behaviour. Start with one each day. Return to the same one if it is moving you.
Sign in and add any of these Names as a custom tasbih. Repeat it 33 or 100 times, track the streak, keep a lifetime count.
