List of Names

The Qur'an refers to the attributes of God as God's “most beautiful names” (Arabic: al-ʾasmāʾ al-ḥusnā) (see ^{[Qur'an 7:180]}, ^{[Qur'an 17:110]}, ^{[Qur'an 20:8]}, ^{[Qur'an 59:24]}). According to Gerhard Böwering,

They are traditionally enumerated as 99 in number to which is added as the highest name (al-ism al-ʾaʿẓam), the supreme name of God, Allāh. The locus classicus for listing the divine names in the literature of qurʾānic commentary is ^{[Qur'an 17:110]}, “Call upon God, or call upon the merciful; whichsoever you call upon, to him belong the most beautiful names,” and also ^{[Qur'an 59:22]} q 59:22-4, which includes a cluster of more than a dozen divine epithets.

Islamic theology makes a distinction between the attributes of God and the divine essence.

Below is a list of the 99 Names of God according to the tradition of Islam.
