Description
The Qur'an says "Allah has the Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them.”. Qur'an 7:180
I think The Path to Understanding: The Beautiful Names of Allah by Manarah Publishing is a great book. It helps us understand Al-Asma' al-Husna. The 99 Beautiful Names of Allah. This book is not a list of names and what they mean. It helps us get to know Allah and understand how He wants us to live.
This book is for Muslims who want to learn more about Allah. They want to understand and feel close to Him not just do what they have to do. Knowing Allah is the important thing and this book helps us do that.
The book looks at 24 of the Names of Allah. For each name it explains:
* What the name. Where it comes from. This helps us understand what the name really means in Arabic.
* What the name tells us about Allah. Is He kind or powerful?
* How we should feel when we think about this name. If we know Allah as Al-Hafidh we should feel safe. If we know Him as Al-Tawwab we should feel sorry when we make mistakes and try to do
* How we can use this name in our lives and when we talk to Allah.
This book is also great for kids. It helps them learn the Qur’an in a way. They can trace the words. Learn what they mean. The book also teaches them manners and how to love the Qur’an.
You can read this book by yourself with a group or in a class. Either way The Path to Understanding: The Beautiful Names of Allah is a book that will help you get closer to Allah, one name, at a time.
