EXPLANATION TO THE BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT NAMES OF ALLAH Extracted from Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Shaykh Abu 'Abdu-r-Raḥmān Naşir as-Sa'di (1307-d1376H) From the most noble and lofty stations of cognisance is to know the Lord, the Glorious, through His beauty. This is the knowledge possessed by the elite of this creation. All of them know Him through an Attribute from amongst His Attributes but those amongst them who have the most complete cognisance are those who know Him through His perfection, magnificence and beauty. There is nothing comparable to Him in any of His Attributes, if you were to assume that the whole of creation was in its most exquisite form, and you were to try and compare their collective outward and inward beauty to the beauty of the Lord, the Glorious, the comparison would be more ineffectual than a faint torch being held against the blazing disk of the sun. This treatise has been extracted from the opening words of Shaykh Naṣir as-Sa'dī, may Allah have mercy upon him, to his tafsir of the Qur'an, Taysir al-Karim al- Rahman, in which he succinctly and beautifully explains those Names of Allah that occur in the Qur'an. After each explanation the translator has added some verses of the Qur'an showing the usage of the particular Name in question. It should also be noted that the author, may Allah have mercy upon him, has only mentioned those Names that occur in the Qur'an and these come to a total of eighty-nine in his view. Additional Names mentioned in the Qur'an have been added from the work of ibn Uthaymin, Qawa'idu-l-Muthlā fi Şifati-Allāhi wa Asmā 'hi-l-Husna, bringing the total to one hundred and three. Before proceeding to the treatise some general principles with regards the Names of Allah, the Mighty and Magnificent are presented. دام السنة Visit us www.darassunnah.com ISBN-13: 978-19043362-4-2 ISBN-10: 1-904336-24-8 Dar as-Sunnah Publishers P.O.
