Allah: An Explanation of the Divine Names and Attributes

Paperback

In this work, taken from his large exegesis of Sura al-Fatiha, Ibn 'Ajiba details the meanings of Allah’s Ninety-Nine Beautiful Names (al-Asma’ al-Husna) and shows readers how to come closer to Allah through the three-fold path of connection, inculcation, and realisation: to connect to each of the divine names; to inculcate their meanings in ethics and character; and to attain realisation of them, beyond repetition, rote memory, or theoretical discussion.

Readers can get a glimpse of the transformative power of knowing the Creator through His Ninety-Nine Beautiful Names, about which the Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, has said, “To Allah belongs ninety-nine names; whosoever enumerates them fully shall enter the Garden.”
