The most beautiful names of God (asma' Allah al-husna)

The most beautiful names of God: 'God has ninety-nine names — a hundred less one — whoever enumerates them enters Paradise', reported by Bukhari and Muslim; Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya devoted a section to them in Jala' al-Afham. The Encyclopaedia of Islam sets out the theological dispute over naming God beyond the texts, the recitation of the names with the rosary, the variants of the list, and the meanings of the names in al-Ghazali, al-Iji and al-Jurjani.
