Doctrines of Islam 08 (Divine Names)

Qur'an

To God belong the Best Names, so supplicate Him by them, and abandon those who commit sacrilege in His names. Soon they shall be requited for what they used to do. 7:180

Say, "Invoke "Allah" or invoke "the All-beneficent." Whichever [of His Names] you may invoke, to Him belong the Best Names." Be neither loud in your prayer, nor murmur it, but follow a middle course between these. 17:110

God there is no god except Him to Him belong the Best Names. 20:8

He is God there is no god except Him Knower of the sensible and the Unseen, He is the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. He is God there is no god except Him the Sovereign, the All-holy, the All-benign, the Securer, the All-conserver, the All-mighty, the All-compeller, the All-magnanimous. exalted is God of any partners that they may ascribe to Him! He is God, the Creator, the Maker, the Former. To Him belong the Best Names. Whatever there is in the heavens glorifies Him and [whatever there is in] the earth, and He is the All-mighty, the All-wise. 52:22-24

He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He has knowledge of all things. 57:3
