Allah (Arabic:
الله, Allāh) is the standard Arabic word for "God".
Arabic-speakers of all faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allāh" to mean
"God". The Muslim and Christian Arabs of today have no other word for 'God' than
"Allāh". In Islam, "Allāh"
is the only deity,
transcendent creator of the universe, and the judge of humankind. Some
Islamic scholars believe that the term "Allāh" should not be translated, arguing
that "Allāh" as used in Islam is a special and glorified term which express the
uniqueness of "Allāh" more accurately
than the word "god" for two reasons:
-
The word "god" can take a plural form "gods", whereas the word "Allāh" has
no individual plural form (it requires grammatical inflection to
imply plurality).
-
The word "god" can have gender as male god or female god (called goddess)
whereas the word "Allāh" does not have a gender since it cannot be declined
to mark grammatical gender
and thus normative
gender.
According to
the tradition of Islam there are 99
Names of God (al-asma al-husna lit. meaning: "The best names") each
of which evoke a distinct characteristic of Allah. The most
frequent of these names are "the Merciful" (al-rahman) and "the
Compassionate" (al-rahim).
According to Hadith
Sahih Bukhari: 3.894 , Narrated Abu
Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has ninety-nine names,
i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise."
Sahih Bukhari : 8.419 , Narrated Abu
Huraira
Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred
minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts
accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is Witr (one) and
loves 'the Witr' (i.e., odd numbers).
Sahih Bukhari :
9.489 , Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's
Apostle said, "Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less
one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter
Paradise." To count something means to know it by heart.

The
Excellence of remembering Allah
Allah's Messenger (SAW) said : Whoever dies with
the last words "Laa 'ilaaha
'illallaahu" (There is none worthy of worship but
Allah.') will enter Paradise.
Invocations of the terminally ill :
Allaahuma-maghfir lee warhamnee wa 'alhiqnee
bir-rafeeqil-a' 'laa. ( O Allah, forgive me and have
mercy upon me and join me with the highest companions
(in Paradise) (Al Bukhari 7/10, Muslim 4/1893)
Allah's Messenger (SAW) said
: Two words are light on the tongue, weigh heavily in
the balance, and are loved by the Most Merciful One; "
Subhaanal-llahi wa bihamdihi, Subhaanal laahil-'Adheem"
( Glorified is Allah and praised is He, Glorified is
Allah the Most Great)
Allah's Messenger (SAW) Said : The
most beloved words to Allah are four "Subhaanallaah" "Walhamdu
lillaah" "Wa laa Ilaaha 'illallaah" "Wallaahu 'Akbar"
(Glorified is Allah) (The Praise is for Allah) (There
is none worthy of worship but Allah) (Allah is the Most Great)
Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, "O
Abdullah bin Qais, should I not pint you to one of the
treasures of Paradise? "I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."
So he told me to say.
"Laa hawla wa laa quwwata 'illaa billaah" .. (There is
no power and no might except by Allah) - Al Bukhari, Muslim
4/2076
Allah's Messenger (SAW) said :
Whoever said """ Subhaanallaahi wa bihamdihi""" ( Glorified is
Allah and praised is He) One hundred times a day, will have
his sins forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.
---- Al Bukhari 7/168, Muslim 4/2071.
