Allah (Arabic: الله, Allāh) is the standard Arabic word for "God". Arabic-speakers of all faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allāh" to mean "God". The Muslim and Christian Arabs of today have no other word for 'God' than "Allāh". In Islam, "Allāh" is the only deity, transcendent creator of the universe, and the judge of humankind. Some Islamic scholars believe that the term "Allāh" should not be translated, arguing that "Allāh" as used in Islam is a special and glorified term which express the uniqueness of "Allāh" more accurately than the word "god" for two reasons:

  • The word "god" can take a plural form "gods", whereas the word "Allāh" has no individual plural form (it requires grammatical inflection to imply plurality).

  • The word "god" can have gender as male god or female god (called goddess) whereas the word "Allāh" does not have a gender since it cannot be declined to mark grammatical gender and thus normative gender.

According to the tradition of Islam there are  99 Names of God (al-asma al-husna lit. meaning: "The best names") each of which evoke a distinct characteristic of Allah. The  most frequent of these names are "the Merciful"   (al-rahman) and "the Compassionate" (al-rahim).

According to Hadith

Sahih Bukhari: 3.894  , Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise."

Sahih Bukhari : 8.419 , Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is Witr (one) and loves 'the Witr' (i.e., odd numbers).

Sahih Bukhari : 9.489 , Narrated Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter Paradise." To count something means to know it by heart.

The Excellence of remembering Allah

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said : Whoever dies with the last words "Laa 'ilaaha 'illallaahu" (There is none worthy of worship but Allah.') will enter Paradise.

Invocations of the terminally ill : Allaahuma-maghfir lee warhamnee wa 'alhiqnee bir-rafeeqil-a' 'laa. ( O Allah, forgive me and have mercy upon me and join me with the highest companions (in Paradise) (Al Bukhari 7/10, Muslim 4/1893)

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said : Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in the balance, and are loved by the Most Merciful One; " Subhaanal-llahi wa bihamdihi, Subhaanal laahil-'Adheem" ( Glorified is Allah and praised is He, Glorified is Allah the Most Great)

Allah's Messenger (SAW) Said : The most beloved words to Allah are four "Subhaanallaah" "Walhamdu lillaah" "Wa laa Ilaaha 'illallaah" "Wallaahu 'Akbar" (Glorified is Allah) (The Praise is for Allah) (There is none worthy of worship but Allah) (Allah is the Most Great)

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, "O Abdullah bin Qais, should I not pint you to one of the treasures of Paradise? "I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So he told me to say.

"Laa hawla wa laa quwwata 'illaa billaah" .. (There is no power and no might except by Allah) - Al Bukhari, Muslim 4/2076

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said : Whoever said """ Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihi""" ( Glorified is Allah and praised is He) One hundred times a day, will have his sins forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea. ---- Al Bukhari 7/168, Muslim 4/2071.
