Attributes of Allah

“Verily, there are ninety-nine names of Allah, one hundred minus one. He who enumerates them would get into Paradise.”

-Sahih Muslim, Vol. 4, no. 1410-

Memorizing the 99 Attributes of Allah is, how shall I put this, FUN! No really it is, and one of these days I hope you get the chance to give it a try. I couldn’t put it as one of my regular post so I had to dedicate a page of its own for it. Enjoy!
