The Beauty Behind Allah’s Names
In the heart of every believer lies a yearning to know Allah. Each of His ninety-nine names, known as Asma-ul-Husna, carries a reflection of His majesty, mercy, and power. They are not just words to memorise, but doors to understanding who our Creator truly is.
For the people of Kashmir, where hardship often meets faith, these divine names echo through the mountains and valleys, reminding families that Allah’s mercy is never distant. And for Muslims in the UK, reflecting on these names helps renew that same connection, guiding acts of compassion and charity back to our brothers and sisters in need.
When we say Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful), we remember that His compassion flows endlessly. When we whisper Al-Razzaq (The Provider), we affirm that sustenance comes only from Him. And when we call upon Al-Ghaffar (The Constant Forgiver), our hearts are softened to forgive others and give selflessly.
