Allah

[Azhari]

Allah, is an Arabic word, is the unique name of God.( knowingTujweed( Muslims prefer to use Allah rather than God. Allah is the only God, all-powerful and all-knowing creator, sustainer, ordainer and judge of the universe. He is unique (wahid) and inherently one (ahad), all-merciful and omnipotent.

 

Allah says in Al Quran about him:

(O Esteemed Messenger!) Proclaim: ‘He is Allah, Who is the One. Allah is the Transcendent of all, the Protector and Far-Superior to all. He has not begotten any, nor is He begotten. Nor is there anyone equal to Him.’

(Al Quran 112: 1-4)

It is the fundamental belief of the Muslims that Allah does not resemble anything. He does not have body, face, hands, legs or any other parts. But He sees without the eyes. He hears without the ears. He exists without a place.“Teaching Islamic Studies”

According to the Al Quran, "No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. God is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things" (Al Quran 6:103)

Muslims believe that Allah created whole universe and the creature by his sheer command “Kun” means “Be”.

According to the Al Quran, “(He is the) Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decides a matter, He simply says to it: “Be”, and it comes to be.” (Al Quran 2: 117)

 

Further Allah says that the purpose of human creation is to worship him.

“I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for the purpose that they should worship Me.”“Online Quran Teaching”

(Al Quran 51: 56)

^^^^ To be linguistically more accurate, change "names" to "Attributes" or more precisely, "understandable Attributes revealed".

Why only 99 ? Why should there be named 99 or whatever number ?

Is that cause during Rasulullah saw 's era, there is no dictionary so the vocabulary for Allah swt's name only 99 ?
