The 99 Beautiful Names of Allah — Asma-ul-Husna — are the divine attributes revealed in the Quran and authenticated in Hadith. Allah says: "Call upon Allah by them." Throughout Islamic history, Muslim parents have derived names for their children from these attributes, creating names that carry a fragment of divine quality: mercy, wisdom, generosity, light, and might.

Asma-ul-Husna Names
Names from the Asma-ul-Husna theme are either formed with the prefix Abd (servant of) — like Abdullah (servant of Allah), Abd-ur-Rahman (servant of the Most Merciful), or Abd-ul-Karim (servant of the Most Generous) — or are permitted standalone forms that echo divine qualities without exclusively belonging to Allah, like Noor (light), Karim (generous), and Hakim (wise).
Every name in this collection is listed with its root divine attribute from the 99 Names, the correct Islamic usage (with or without Abd prefix), scholarly notes on permissibility, and the spiritual meaning parents are giving their child when they choose it. A name from Asma-ul-Husna is not just a name — it is a lifelong connection to Allah and a daily reminder of His qualities.
