click here to hear these names
Muhammad said: 'Allah the Most High, has ninety-nine names. He who retains them in his memory or recites them, will enter the Paradise'. He also said: 'No-one will be afflicted by distress or anxiety if he invokes Allah with these names, but Allah will take away his distress and grant him happiness instead'.
"The most beautiful names belong to God: so call on Him by them;..." (7:180) Say: "Invoke God, or invoke the Most Gracious: by whichever name you invoke Him, He is always the One -- for His are all the attributes of perfection." Al Isra 17:110, tr. Asad Laysa Kamithlihi Shayun Wa Huwa As-Sami' ul-Basir "...There is nothing whatever like unto Him, and He is the One that hears and sees (all things). Qur'an [42:11] And God alone posseses the attributes of perfection; invoke Him, then, by these, and stand aloof from all who distort the meaning of His attributes. Al A'Raf 7:180, tr. Asad
The 99 Most Beautiful Names of God, mentioned in the Quran, describe the Lords special attributes and characteristics, which prove, that Allah has a personal form.
The Holy Qur'an describes Allahs attributes as follows: Allah is swift (10.21); rightful (10.32); fazlin, or bountiful (10.60); latif, or tender, hakim, or wise (12.100); gafur, or forgiving, rahim, or merciful (12.98); aziz, or mighty, zuntiqam, or able to requite (14.47); rahman, or beneficent (20.5); qawiy, or strong, (22.40); afuw, or mild (22.60); halim, or clement (2.263); shakir, or responsive (4.147); shadid, or stern (40.3) ali, or sublime and kabir, or majestic (40.12). It is obvious that the owner of all these qualities must be a person. Otherwise how can an abstract power be rightful or bountiful or forgiving or clement or responsive? To be responsive Allah must be a Person. Response is possible only between individualities. To say that an impersonal truth has all these qualities is meaningless. There must be a person, Who is Allah.
If we study the Holy Qur'an carefully we will see that Allah has relationships with His creation. He guides, punishes and awards, gives life and death, becomes angry, summons, leads, loves and does not love, protects, teaches, beguiles, takes care, remembers etc. Such relationships between Allah and living beings display His personal nature, for only a person can have such relationships. Impersonal light or power cannot love, teach, remember, become angry etc. One must be a person to have such relationships.
For instance, in the above mentioned ayat (24.35) it is further explained that, Yahdillahu li - nurihi many - yasha / wa yazribullahul - 'amsala linas / wallahu bi - kulli shay-'in 'Alim: "Allah guides unto His light whom He will and Allah does set forth allegories for mankind, for Allah is the Knower of all things." (24.35)
In the Holy Qur'an we find numerous verses which describe the bodily features of Allah. For example, Allah's ability to see and the nature of His eyes are described in the following way: Wallaahu bimaa ta'-maluuna Basiir: "Allah sees well whatever you do." (2.265)
There are a number of verses in the Holy Qur'an which explains that Allah hears everything. The fact that Allah can hear automatically suggests that He possesses the sense of hearing; but His hearing and the sense of hearing alike are transcendental. His sense of hearing is neither limited nor conditioned like ours. Allah can simultaneously hear every murmur and sigh in the whole creation. For instance, in the 50th ayat of the 34th sura ("Saba", or "The City of Saba") it is written that Allah "hears all things": Innahuu Samii-'un-Qarib: "It is He Who hears all things, and is (ever) near." Wallaahu Samii-'un 'Alim: "Allah is Hearer, Knower." (2.224) Thus, Allah is the owner of spiritual senses of hearing. Allah's spiritual Ears are eternal, perfect and have unlimited potency. He can hear everything that is hearable and unhearable.
Ustad Abdullah Yusuf Ali comments: "The attributes of Allah are different from anything we know in our present world. He lives, but His life is self-subsisting and eternal. It does not depend upon other beings and is not limited to time and space. The attribute of Qayyum includes not only the idea of "Self-subsisting" but also the idea of "Keeping up and maintaining all life"." (9, p. 114)
A thorough, scrutinizing study of the Holy Qur'an affords one compelling evidence of the existence of Allah's form. It is explained that Allah has a Sublime Image. How can one, who has an image, be formless? The very mention of the word 'image' signifies the existence of a form. So, it is illogical to say that while Allah has an image, He is formless. Although Allah is beyond mundane logic, by using spiritual logic (which is based on the revealed scriptures) we can easily understand that if Allah has a Sublime Image then He must also have a Sublime Form which is transcendental to material time and space.
Since Allah is eternal, unlimited, has neither beginning nor end, was never born and is deathless, how can He have a material form? Therefore Allah has a spiritual form which is perfect, unmanifest, unseen and inconceivable.The understanding that Allah has a spiritual form is a better understanding.Considering Allah formless is, to say the least, an inferior thought. Since the statement that Allah has no form deprives Him of something which even the lower creatures have, such a statement is offensive. Therefore the most perfect understanding is that Allah has a form which is absolutely spiritual and has little to do with any material form whatsoever.

and
100) The hidden name.
The Holy Qur’an recommends:
Qulid-’ullaha ‘awid-’ur-Rahman / ‘ayama tad-’u fala-hul ‘asma-’ul-husna: “Say: Call upon Allah, or call upon Rahman (Beneficent), by whatever name you call upon Him (it is well). For to Him belong the most beautiful names.” (17.110)
The Arabic word “Rahman”, “Most Gracious” is a intensive form of referring to Allah’s attribute of Mercy. Mercy may imply pity, patience and forgiveness, all of which the sinner needs and Allah Most Merciful bestows in abundant measure. But there is a Mercy that goes before even the need arises, the Grace which is ever watchful, and flows from Allah Most Gracious to all His creatures, protecting them, preserving them, guiding them and leading them to clear light and higher life. Rahman describes one of the attributes of Allah, - His grace and Mercy which comes to the sinner even before he feels consciously in need of it, - the preventive Grace which saves Allah’s servants from sin. Allah can be invoked, either by His simple name, which includes all attributes, or by one of the names implying the attributes by which we try to explain His nature to our limited understanding. In Al-Qur’an the holy name Rahman is especially stressed.
