The Names of Allah, more commonly known as the Divine Names or the Most Beautiful Names, are the loci of manifestation. They are the attributes and relations through which Divine Self-disclosure occurs. Everything derives its existence and originates from the meanings and qualities that are denoted by the Names of Allah; hence, the Names and their manifestations are our only means of knowing the reality of Allah. Analogously, Muhammad (SAW) says “He who knows himself will know his Sustainer”. Since the Divine Names comprise the essence of all things, and the essence of all things is ...

As exquisitely and descriptively as one may talk about “What beauty is”, ultimately its meaning can be as diverse and numerous as its admirers. Yet no matter how infinitely various its expressions and experience may be, the concept of beauty will always remain one. In a much similar way, although God can be defined in as many ...

“Prayer is the weapon of a believer.” - Muhammad (saw) Prayer is the act of actualizing one’s wants through the divine powers present within. There is of course a scientific explanation to this act. Essentially prayer is ‘guided brain waves.’ Just as the dimension of knowledge transforms into energy and the quantum field to form the universe, the wants and desires of consciousness emanate from the dimension of knowledge to reveal themselves as the wants and desires of man and become actualized through the densification of guided brain waves. Due to this, the stronger the ...
