99 Names of Allah — Asma-ul-Husna

All 99 names of the well-known Asma-ul-Husna list, each with its Arabic text, transliteration and a standard English meaning. Use the search box to jump to a name by its English or transliterated form.

It is the widely published list based on the hadith in Sunan al-Tirmidhi (3507) and Sunan Ibn Majah, reproduced in books and posters worldwide. The English meanings follow the standard published renderings.

Arabic sounds such as ’ayn and the emphatic letters have no exact English letters, so spelling conventions vary (for example Al-Mu’min vs Al-Mumin). The Arabic text is the reference; transliteration is a pronunciation guide.

There is no audio on this page. The transliteration printed under each Arabic name is the pronunciation guide — it is written in simple Latin letters, with doubled letters and hyphens showing where a sound is held, so each name can be sounded out without knowing Arabic.

They share one Arabic root (r-h-m, mercy) and are traditionally explained as two shades of it: Ar-Rahman, ‘The Most Gracious’, describes mercy that embraces all of creation, while Ar-Rahim, ‘The Most Merciful’, is explained as mercy directed especially towards the believers. Scholars phrase the distinction in more than one way; the card meanings follow the most common explanation.

These are the famous 99 of the well-known enumeration that is traditionally memorised and printed. Muslim scholars note that the names of Allah are not limited to these 99 — the list on this page is that traditional enumeration, presented in its familiar order.

Naming customs differ between families, schools and cultures: many of these names are used with the prefix ‘Abdul-’ (‘servant of’), and some are considered appropriate for Allah alone. Because this is a religious ruling, please ask a local scholar or your family elders before deciding on a name.

Yes, once it has loaded — all 99 cards, including the Arabic text and meanings, are part of the page itself, so reading and searching keep working with no connection at all.
