Names of God in Islam

Names of God in Islam (Arabic: أَسْمَاءُ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ, romanized: ʾasmāʾu l-Lāhi l-ḥusnā, lit. 'God's Beautiful Names') are the names that each contain attributes of God in Islam, implied by the respective properties. Some names are known from only from the Quran or hadith, while others can be found in both sources, although most are found in the Quran. Allāh is the Arabic word referring to God in Abrahamic religions, thought to be derived by contraction from al-ʾilāh, which means "the god", (i.e., the only god, reflecting Tawhid) and is related to El and Elah, the Hebrew and Aramaic words for God.
