Book Name:Pyaray Aaqa Ka Pyara Naam
Prophetic Names given by Allah
Dear Islamic brothers! Take a moment to reflect on this point. I have a name, and you also have a name. In this world, every human and every object has a name, but the point to ponder is: Does my name have any special quality? For example, if someone's name is Zayd, what unique quality is there in simply being named Zayd? Nothing! His parents named him Zayd when he was born, and that name has carried on ever since. But how remarkable is the glory of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Allah Almighty not only granted him countless names but also adorned them with such exclusive qualities that even in terms of names, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is unparalleled. If we were to count the distinct qualities of the Prophet’s صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم beloved names, they would certainly exceed our intellect and understanding. For example, I will share just one special quality of these blessed names. The great pious predecessor, Qadi ꜤIyāḍ al-Mālikī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: Among the countless names of my Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم , there are thirty names which are originally the names of Allah Almighty, but Allah also granted them to His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.[1]
Manifestation of The Beautiful Names of Allah
Dear Islamic brothers! Among the beautiful names of Allah Almighty, there are 30 that are, in reality, names of Allah, and those very names have been bestowed by Allah upon His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. That is, Rāʾūf is a name of Allah, and the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can also be called Rāʾūf. Raḥīm is a name of Allah, and the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can also be called Raḥīm. ꜤAlīm is also a name of Allah, and the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can also be called ꜤAlīm. In short, these 30 names of Allah Almighty were formally granted to His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
Now, let us go a step further! Scholars state: “The Asmāʾ al-Ḥusnāʾ—the
