99 Names of Allah with Meaning And Benefits
In Surah Al-A’raf Ayah 180 it says:
وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ أَسْمَٰٓئِهِۦ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
“And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.”
Hadith from Al-Bukhari #7392 which Abu Huraira Reports the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) as saying, “Allah has ninety-nine Names, one-hundred less one; and he who memorized them all by heart will enter Paradise.”

I agree its a good idea to learn/get familiar with the best, truest names for the Creator.
My understanding is that the most literal translation is "The One" which can encompass many aspects, as the 99 names system celebrates. However, its also simple enough to just be "The One" in singularity to provide people with a workable God-conscious theological framework. We cant imagine or comprehend God really, but we are given concepts which help to establish connection and worship. The further we turn away from them, the more modern the world seems to become.

I’m not defending Muslims, I’m just posting about what I have found out about Islam and how the core ideology Islam (peaceful submission to God) is misunderstood and when understood, quite liberating.
I’d defend Christianity too but it’s theology is very hard to follow, contradictory and confusing. The very fact that two Christians can interpret the same verse to their own liking and come up with opposing conclusions is scary, and downright dangerous. So I do find it quite difficult to imagine myself defending it.

I agree with this even thou I"m frequently seen on these forums "attacking Christianity." But there is a big difference between a Unitarian and a Trinitarian Christian.
The Quran does say there will be Christians and Jews in Heaven. While i assume its mostly those who actually walked with Jesus and chose to worship God alone without any partner..
God knows best who are made for the fire and who will receive mercy. Those who have no chance reject his existance altogether while those who chose to partner others with Him are not in a much better state.
I understand the part about Christianity. I'm of the opinion that a preacher should teach straight from the bible without mixing other ideologies or texts. The gospel is very simple to understand, and there's no process involved with getting saved. Just believe that Jesus died for your sins, and that God raised him up on the third day according to the bible. Call on the Lord and he will save you. There's no works involved like with all other religions. Jesus did all the works himself.
There's quite a few sects within Islam. There are three major sects, and each major sect has offshoots. Its really almost like Christianity in that sense.
Anyways sorry for giving you a hard time yesterday. I was mostly just joking with you. The Muslims though are some weird fellas. They love playing the victim, and they love pointing out things others do that they do themselves. I can't stand hypocrites lol. I could tolerate them if it wasn't for that. I just put them on ignore. I've caught them in so many lies its unbelievable.

Don’t sweat it man,
damn. Usually I like to come off as the bigger man but you beat me to the apology by miles. I also am sorry, hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me too.
No problem. Take care.
Agreed and thank you, I am aware. The Islam of today is complicated and fragmented as is Christianity and Judaism. I cannot accept what I do not understand. I do not focus on what other humans expect of me, only on what God expects of me.
There are no middlemen between myself and God. I do not pray to Jesus. I pray directly to God and to God only as Jesus did, in an attempt to stay connected 24/7/365.25. Jesus was the example on how to do this, therefore Christ is the only religious leader that I trust because he has never ignored the over all message. I attempt to follow one path, Christ is my teacher to the truth and to the straight path and God is my guide.
May the Creator guide you as well friend.
Thank you, understood. Yes my religion is the submission to the will of God and obedience to God only, rooted in Torah according to the ways of Jesus, confirmed by Jesus in New Testament and confirmed in Quran.
The mind blowing prophecies of Prophet Muhammad video was pleasant to watch. I do not understand why the prophecies of Muhammad were not written in Quran, I hope they are the truth.
FULL - Dr. Zakir Naik The Quran and the Bible in the Light of Science vs Dr William Campbell video sounds interesting. I will take the time to view it.
Please show me Hadiths you consider better than the words of Bible and I will read them. I cannot accept any Hadith to be better than the words of Bible and Quran, or that Bible is fundamentally unreliable in the absence of the originals, Quran is clear on this:
Surah 11.
17. Can they be (like) those who accept a Clear (Sign) from their Lord, and whom a witness from Himself doth teach, as did the Book of Moses before it,- a guide and a mercy? They believe therein; but those of the Sects that reject it,- the Fire will be their promised meeting-place. Be not then in doubt thereon: for it is the truth from thy Lord: yet many among men do not believe!
Surah 15.
9. We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
Surah 32.
23. We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not then in doubt of its reaching (thee): and We made it a guide to the Children of Israel.
Surah 2.
51. And remember We appointed forty nights for Moses, and in his absence ye took the calf (for worship), and ye did grievous wrong.
52. Even then We did forgive you; there was a chance for you to be grateful.
53. And remember We gave Moses the Scripture and the Criterion (Between right and wrong): There was a chance for you to be guided aright.
54. And remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf: So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft- Returning, Most Merciful.
55. And remember ye said: "O Moses! We shall never believe in thee until we see Allah manifestly," but ye were dazed with thunder and lighting even as ye looked on.
87. We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!
Surah 3.
1. A. L. M.
2. Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal.
3. It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Law (of Moses) and the Gospel (of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).
Surah 4.
150. Those who deny Allah and His apostles, and (those who) wish to separate Allah from His apostles, saying: "We believe in some but reject others": And (those who) wish to take a course midway,-
151. They are in truth (equally) unbelievers; and we have prepared for unbelievers a humiliating punishment.
152. To those who believe in Allah and His apostles and make no distinction between any of the apostles, we shall soon give their (due) rewards: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah 5.
46. And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.
47. Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel.
48. To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah. it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;
Surah 6.
91. No just estimate of Allah do they make when they say: "Nothing doth Allah send down to man (by way of revelation)" Say: "Who then sent down the Book which Moses brought?- a light and guidance to man: But ye make it into (separate) sheets for show, while ye conceal much (of its contents): therein were ye taught that which ye knew not- neither ye nor your fathers." Say: "(Allah) (sent it down)": Then leave them to plunge in vain discourse and trifling.
92. And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it: that thou mayest warn the mother of cities and all around her. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in this (Book), and they are constant in guarding their prayers.
115. The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all.
116. Wert thou to follow the common run of those on earth, they will lead thee away from the way of Allah. They follow nothing but conjecture: they do nothing but lie.
117. Thy Lord knoweth best who strayeth from His way: He knoweth best who they are that receive His guidance.
118. So eat of (meats) on which Allah.s name hath been pronounced, if ye have faith in His signs.
119. Why should ye not eat of (meats) on which Allah.s name hath been pronounced, when He hath explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you - except under compulsion of necessity? But many do mislead (men) by their appetites unchecked by knowledge. Thy Lord knoweth best those who transgress.
120. Eschew all sin, open or secret: those who earn sin will get due recompense for their "earnings."
121. Eat not of (meats) on which Allah.s name hath not been pronounced: That would be impiety. But the evil ones ever inspire their friends to contend with you if ye were to obey them, ye would indeed be Pagans.
154. Moreover, We gave Moses the Book, completing (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining all things in detail,- and a guide and a mercy, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
155. And this is a Book which We have revealed as a blessing: so follow it and be righteous, that ye may receive mercy:
156. Lest ye should say: "The Book was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by assiduous study:"
157. Or lest ye should say: "If the Book had only been sent down to us, we should have followed its guidance better than they." Now then hath come unto you a clear (sign) from your Lord,- and a guide and a mercy: then who could do more wrong than one who rejecteth Allah.s signs, and turneth away therefrom? In good time shall We requite those who turn away from Our signs, with a dreadful penalty, for their turning away.
Surah 7.
157. "Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper."
Surah 9.
111. Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah. then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
24. And We appointed, from among them, leaders, giving guidance under Our command, so long as they persevered with patience and continued to have faith in Our Signs.
25. Verily thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Judgment, in the matters wherein they differ (among themselves
Surah 17.
2. We gave Moses the Book, and made it a Guide to the Children of Israel, (commanding): "Take not other than Me as Disposer of (your) affairs."
3. O ye that are sprung from those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Verily he was a devotee most grateful.
4. And We gave (Clear) Warning to the Children of Israel in the Book, that twice would they do mischief on the earth and be elated with mighty arrogance (and twice would they be punished)!
Surah 21.
48. In the past We granted to Moses and Aaron the criterion (for judgment), and a Light and a Message for those who would do right,-
Surah 23.
20. Also a tree springing out of Mount Sinai, which produces oil, and relish for those who use it for food.
49. And We gave Moses the Book, in order that they might receive guidance.
Surah 25.
35. (Before this,) We sent Moses The Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as minister;
Surah 28.
1. Ta. Sin. Mim.
2. These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
3. We rehearse to thee some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Truth, for people who believe.
Surah 40.
53. We did aforetime give Moses the (Book of) Guidance, and We gave the book in inheritance to the Children of Israel,-
54. A Guide and a Message to men of Understanding.
Surah 41.
45. We certainly gave Moses the Book aforetime: but disputes arose therein. Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their differences) would have been settled between them: but they remained in suspicious disquieting doubt thereon.
Surah 46.
12. And before this, was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy: And this Book confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue; to admonish the unjust, and as Glad Tidings to those who do right.
30. They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path.
Surah 48.
29. Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great Reward.
Surah 53.
36. Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses-
37. And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?-

I've never seen "Allah" defined as the One.
It's one (or two) of the 99 names of Allah. However, what is not in that list is "The Father" which Daze insists is the name of Allah in the New Testament, but he refuses to provide a reference to a single Muslim theologian making the same claim despite saying that "100% of Muslims say [this]". Apparently Allah can be a father without having a son; even though he neither begets nor is begotten, according to what the Koran teaches.

Technically you have to accept that Muhammad (saw) was a prophet (and this is an easy conclusion to come to when you examine the facts) but you already are a Muslim.
If you worship God alone without partners or intermediaries and follow the path of one of his prophets such as Jesus, then you are a Muslim.
From Adam to Muhammad, all of Gods prophets called to the worship of God alone. Any of their followers (at least during the time they actually walked this earth) are Muslims.

Allah is never referred to/thought as a father in the Islamic perspective... Allah is not even a he. Allah is the Creator of fathers and mothers.
Prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
- All derived from Quranic verses and authentic hadiths -
God opened the horizons of the unseen in a very precise manner.
Some of these prophecies from God in the Qur’an are conveyed to the people by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in order for people to believe the message of the Qur’an and evidence of the sincerity of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
And some other prophecies in the authentic hadiths
these prophecies happened exactly as the Prophet, peace be upon him.foretold it
And the same men in the era of the Messenger of God testified to the Qur’an and to the hadiths of the Messenger of God
No expense has been spared by scholars of hadith in authenticating the reliability and provenance of each and every collated hadith. They undertook thorough investigations to determine the authenticity of the reports from the Prophet's time by tracing them back to eye-witnesses, through unbroken lines of reliable narrators.
A Christian can only dream of being able to affirm the origin of every verse of the Bible in this manner.
The Bible was not recorded directly
But
After 300 years after the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him
Bible verses are written down
Without trustworthy witnesses
Because they were not present at the time of Jesus, peace be upon him even the Old Testament was written down
One thousand years after the death of the Prophet moses peace be upon him
Therefore, the hadith is better than the Bible in terms of documentation and credibility
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The Torah in the time of the Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, is in agreement with the Qur’an
the Gospel in the time of Prophet Isa, peace be upon him, is consistent with the Qur’an
but now
According to Islam, both the Torah and the New Testament have been corrupted.
So God sent the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, with the Qur’an to correct the distortion
For example, in the Torah, God curses Adam and Eve for their disobedience and gives all women birth pains as punishment. In the Qur’an he forgives them when they repent
In the Qur’an, God forbids alcohol, immorality, usury, gambling, eating pork, worshiping man, and considering him as a god.
All this is done by Jews and Christians
And contrary to the teachings of the Qur’an
The Qur’an discourages interest in the content of distorted books that oppose it
Jewish scholars and rabbis not only interpreted the Torah parallel to their own understanding in the matters they could not find certain answers, but also added the texts they approved and removed certain parts. Consequently, those additions and deletions made the real Torah unidentifiable.
A similar kind of distortion is also in the Gospel. Christian priests added their own understandings of religion, their own interpretations and fancy ideas into Allah's Word, the Gospel and thus made that divine book almost unrecognizable. The Qur'an explains those ugly distortions by the Jewish and the Christian religious functionaries of divine scriptures this way: “O you who believe! Many among the rabbis and monks do indeed consume the wealth of people in legally invalid, wrongful ways (such as changing the Book's commandments in return for worldly benefit, bribery, and using religion as a means of worldly gain) and bar them from God's way.” (At-Taubah, 9:34). As is understood from that verse, certain rabbis and priests changed the verses in divine scriptures in exchange for worldly gains or interpreted them according to their own fancy. They especially distorted the verses about the prophethood of Muhammad, peace and blessings upon him, and tried to destroy the verses of the Scripture which give the good news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad after Prophet Jesus, peace and blessing upon them.
Those rabbis and priests did not suffice with it; they claimed that the additions they inserted into divine scriptures were the original text. Thus, those rabbis' and priests' philosophy of history, explanation, interpretation, and their views in other branches of knowledge entered the Collection of the Scripture and thus became almost a part of the Word of Allah.

Im not sure if there is a definitive answer of the root-word linkage... perhaps due to loss of origins via the swirling sands of time, perhaps because of peoples innovations over the years...
My understanding is that Ala was an Aramaic term for the One, True God even used by Jesus and has been proposed as a root word for Allah. Elohim and etc. may be related but its my understanding that Allah, in the truest definition, translates to "The One" or The God" (meaning the One, True God).
So far I can only agree with some of what you said here. Where are these authenticated Hadith you speak of? Are we allowed to read them for ourselves in context without going through a religious leader? I very much wish to read and digest their content if allowed. I do not doubt that much time and money has been paid. A Christian or anyone else is able to affirm the authenticity of every verse in the Bible, if they take the time to read it, and allow God to interpret it for them.
I agree with much of what you said here, but the stories were kept alive until written down, God made sure of this. How do you know the stories were not kept alive until they were written down? Have you taken the time to personally read, word for word, and sift through the current Bible versions and different language interpretations that you can read and understand, without going through a religious leader or middle man?
In my opinion, and in the opinion of the very few, except for minor exceptions, current Torah and New Testament are in perfect agreement with each other and Quran confirms this if properly interpreted and understood. I know this to be true with all my being because I have read them, and continue to read them. The over all message has never died, only twisted by religious leaders, this is why I do not take their word for every thing that they say, although I do continue to listen to arguments and compare scripture to verify the over all message. With you I cannot verify your Hadith vs. Bible claims because you provide no Hadith scripture in context, I do not know where to look other than posted religious leader video interpretations. Do you recommend I use my search engine for Hadith websites on the internet? I sincerely wish to understand where you're coming from friend.
I agree, as far as I understand, in the days of New Testament God became a tiny bit lenient with us, God ended the sacrifices. We are no longer under the curse of the law if we repent. God now forgives us if we repent, as long as we fully submit to his will and continue to completely obey him only. Quran confirms this. The birth pains have not been removed as far as I am aware, I am not a woman. Are you saying that women who repent before giving birth do not have birth pains while giving birth? Or are women who repent just forgiven? As far as I am aware, human females are the only life forms on this planet that have birth pains while giving birth, which is quite revealing as far as the authenticity of the Bible is concerned.
I agree, many Jews and Christians misinterpret the teachings in Bible and continue to lead the sheep to slaughter. However if interpreted correctly and properly understood, in current Bible God does forbid drunkenness, immortality, usury, gambling, eating pork, worshiping man, and forbids considering Jesus as God which would break first and second Commandments, Quran confirms this.
I agree, Jewish scholars and rabbis that you speak of are wrong, after all many follow the Talmud, which should speak volumes here. Whatever little bit they distorted has failed to stop the over all message in Torah. Just like reading from the internet and every other thing in life, with the will of God, we must practice discernment in scripture. I do not much care of what religious leaders and scholars say, it has been written and I have confirmed this with my eyes and the will of God.
Do you not believe this verse to be true? Or is the interpretation that I have incorrect? Do I have such a poor understand of the laws of God that it is obvious that my understanding is from the current Bible? Do you believe that the Book of Moses has reached you through Hadith? If so, please show me the way with the text, my eyes are wide open I hope.
Surah 32.
23. We did indeed aforetime give the Book to Moses: be not then in doubt of its reaching (thee): and We made it a guide to the Children of Israel.
I completely agree, but as far as I understand, they failed to change most of the actual scripture. However they did succeed in convincing many followers of their misinterpretations, so their followers continue with their sins as lost sheep to the slaughter. Please forgive me, as I do not claim to be a religious leader, scholar or teacher. I'm just a person that has done some reading, and continue to read over and over again, as much as possible in search of more understanding of the truth and the over all message.
For now all I can say to you is this. Before you possibly help lead more sheep to the slaughter, you should read the current Bible for yourself if you have not already done so, word for word, and allow God to interpret it for you, without listening to me or any religious leaders or scholars. Only listen to God and his prophets and messengers, as they are the only ones that really know what they are talking about.
Thank you for this video, I will review when I have time. I still have four hours to go with the previous video.
