[edit] 100th name

The 99 names point to the inherent unity of the all-embracing Greatest Name.^[5] In Islamic Traditions, it is stated "The Greatest Name of Allah is the one which if He [Allah] is called (prayed to) by it, he will answer." (Ibn Májah).^[6]

[edit] Baha' ad-Din al-`Amili

According to Bahá'í scholar ‘Abdu’l-Hamíd Ishráq-Khávari, Shaykh Baha' al-Din adopted the pen name (takhallus) 'Baha' after being inspired by words of Shi'a Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (the fifth Imam) and Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (the sixth Imam), who had stated that the Greatest Name of God was included in either Du'ay-i-Sahar or Du'ay-i-Umm-i-Davud.^[7] In the first verse of the Du'ay-i-Sahar, a dawn prayer for the Ramadan, the name "Bahá" appears four times: "Allahumma inni as 'aluka min Bahá' ika bi Abháh va kulla Bahá' ika Bahí".^[8]

[edit] Bábí and Bahá'í

Bahá'í sources state that the Báb fulfills the prophecy of the Mahdi, and the 100th name was revealed as "Bahá’" (an Arabic word بهاء meaning "glory, splendor" etc.), which is the root word for Bahá'u'lláh and Bahá'í. It is also known as the 'Greatest Name'.^[7][9] The Báb wrote a noted pentagram-shaped tablet with 360 derivatives of the word "Bahá'" used in it.^[7]

[edit] More names

There is a misconception that there are only 99 Names of Allah that have been revealed. This is incorrect. Please see Al-Mubaada Al-Mufeedah fee Tawheed wa Fiqh wa 'Aqeedah by Ash-Shaykh Yahyaa bin 'Alee Al-Hajooree. At the end of the 4th printing, he lists 109 names with the evidences from the Qur'aan and Sunnah. All of the names were affirmed by Ibn Qayyin in his work Nooneeyah.

[edit] Personal names

According to Islamic tradition, a Muslim may not be given any of the 99 names of God in the exact same form. For example, nobody may be named al-Malik (The King), but may be named Malik (King). This is because of the belief that God is almighty, and no human being is the equivalent of God, and no human being will ever be the equivalent of God. Muslims are allowed to use the 99 names of Allah for themselves but should not put 'Al' at the front of them.

However the names/attributes of God can be combined with the word "‘Abd -" which means "servant/slave" (of God) and are commonly used as personal names among Muslims. For example ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān ("Servant of the Most Compassionate/the Beneficent"). The two parts of the name may be written separately (as above) or combined as one transliterated name; in such a case, the vowel transcribed after ‘Abd is often written as u when the two words are transcribed as one: e.g., Abdurrahman, Abdul'aziz, "Abdul-Jabbar", or even Abdullah ("Servant of God"). (This has to do with Arabic case vowels, the final u vowel showing the normal "quote" nominative/vocative case form: ‘abdu.)

Some Muslim people have names resembling those 99. Examples include

• Ra'ouf, such as Ra'ouf Mus'ad.
• Salam, such as Salam Fayyad.
• Kareem, such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
• Razzaq, such as Abdul Razzaq.
