What Names and tributes are used for God?

The Almighty Alazeez العزيز

The Wise Alhakeem الحكيم

The compassionate Alraaouf الرأوف

The Merciful Alraheem الرحيم

We have the last 3 verses with 17 names and attributes of Allah;

‫

He is God: there is no god other than Him. It is He who knows what is hidden as well as what is in the open, He is the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy./ Ayah 22

He is God: there is no god other than Him, the Controller, the Holy One, Source of Peace, Granter of Security, Guardian over all, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Truly Great; God is far above anything they consider to be His partner./ Ayah 23

He is God: the Creator, the Originator, the Shaper. The best names belong to Him. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him: He is the Almighty, the Wise.

Ayah 24

I am so grateful for Dr.Abdul haleem’s English translation of the Quran. I can hear the Arabic verse as I read it in English.

Reflections:

If We had sent this Quran down to a mountain, you would have seen it humbled and split apart in its awe of God:

We offer people such illustrations so that they may reflect.(Ayah 21)

Duaa 🤲

Lord, forgive us our sins and the sins of our brothers who believed before us, and leave no malice in our hearts towards those who believe. Lord, You are truly compassionate and merciful.’, Ayah 10
