“And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.”
Qur’an 7:180
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one; whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2736, Sahih Muslim 2677). Scholars explain that “enumerating” them is more than reciting a list: it is knowing what each Name means, believing it, and calling on Allah by it — asking Ar-Razzāq for provision, Al-Ghafūr for forgiveness, Ash-Shāfī for healing.

How to learn the 99 Names — one at a time
- One Name a day. Read it in Arabic, say it aloud, and learn its meaning. Ninety-nine days is just over three months.
- Find it in your day. When you are worried about money, remember Ar-Razzāq; when you have done wrong, At-Tawwāb, the One who keeps accepting repentance.
- Use it in du’a. Begin a du’a with the Name that fits it — “Yā Raḥmān, have mercy on me”, “Yā Laṭīf, be gentle with my affairs”.
- Review weekly. Go back over the seven Names of the week before adding new ones.
Zikr Break shows the Names one by one, full screen, with their meaning in English, Urdu or Arabic — a few seconds of reflection instead of another scroll.
About this list. The order above is the one most widely recited, from a narration in Jāmiʿ at-Tirmidhī (3507). Scholars have discussed whether the list itself is part of the hadith; the Names themselves are found in the Qur’an and the Sunnah.

Open the 99 NamesFrequently asked questions
What are the 99 Names of Allah called?
They are called Asmā’ al-Husnā, “the Most Beautiful Names”, from the Qur’an: “And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them” (7:180; see also 17:110, 20:8 and 59:24).
What is the reward for learning the 99 Names?
The Prophet ﷺ said that Allah has ninety-nine names and whoever enumerates them will enter Paradise (Bukhari 2736, Muslim 2677). Scholars explain this as learning them, understanding their meanings, living by them and calling on Allah by them.
Does Allah have only 99 names?
No. In a du’a the Prophet ﷺ asked Allah “by every name that is Yours, which You named Yourself… or kept in the knowledge of the unseen with You” (Musnad Ahmad 3712). The hadith of ninety-nine describes a special virtue, not a limit.
What is the first Name of Allah in the list?
The list begins with Ar-Rahmān (الرَّحْمٰن), “The Most Compassionate”, and Ar-Rahīm, “The Most Merciful” — the same two Names in “Bismillāh ir-Raḥmān ir-Raḥīm”.
How can I memorise the 99 Names of Allah?
Learn one Name a day with its meaning, revise each week, and use the Names in your own du’a. Zikr Break shows one Name at a time, full screen, and can remind you during the day.
