Allah, the Creator of all that exists, is known through His 99 most perfect names. These names are not separate beings or forces, but facets of the same divine reality: Ar-Rahman (The Most Compassionate), Al-Hakim (The All-Wise), Al-Ghaffar (The Forgiving), and so on. Knowing and reflecting on these names deepens one's understanding of the Creator, and invoking them in prayer connects the believer to the qualities that govern all existence. As the Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever memorizes them and lives by them will enter Paradise."
