    I'm confused by the concept of "Personal Name"..
    -What is "Personal Name"?
    -And who gives The God His "Personal Name"?
    -Can The God haves multiple (more than one) "Personal Names"?

      Salaaman LB13,

      Mazhar is Right, the only name of Allah in the Quran is RAHMAN

      I copied most verses containing the name Rahman, i replaced the beneficient with the original name Rahman , and it sounds a personal name , the only personnel name, all others are attributes

      All others attributes, are just attributes, some can be given to men, like, mumin, raouf , rahim, rouhama = rahim in pluriel = Halim , Aalim etc... some attributes can't be gien to humans, like mutakabir
      but the only names are allah wich in the divine or the god, like a position, and the personel name Al Rahman , or the Rahman

      Attributes ???

      7180

      7180 And to Allah belong the most beautiful names, so call Him by them; and leave alone those who deviate His names. They will be punished for what they used to do.

      "Asmaa-a" is plural. There are many names of Allah.

      1965

      1965 The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. So serve Him and be patient in His service. Do you know anything that is like Him?

      Without making it complicated, it is really easy to differentiate between the names of Allah and His attributes with "AL".

      Raheem = Attribute
      Al + Raheem = Name

      Khaliq = Attribute
      Al + Khaliq = Name

      Malik = Attribute
      Al + Malik = Name

      Rubb = Attribute

      Al + Rahmaan = Name

      This is how I understand.

      May Allah forgive us if we are wrong and correct us pr

        Salam brother khan

        Say Cry unto Allah, or cry unto AlRahman, unto whichsoever ye cry . His are the most beautiful names. And thou , be not loud-voiced in thy worship nor yet silent therein, but follow a way between 17110

        notice, allah mentioned two names, Allah and Alrahmane, than he said the most beautiful names . I believe only two names are in the quran, Allah and AlRahman . pluriel can be two in the arabic language of the qquran, there are many cases , exemple

        If ye twain turn unto Allah repentant, (ye have cause to do so) for your hearts desired 664
        , qulub is pluriel even though he's talking about two persones, two hearts
        This rule been made by arabs academics after the quran came to existance, so this rule doesn't apply to the quran, because the Quran uses duality and pluriel different way in some cases , but other cases duality and pluriel are used the same way
        so Asmaa Allah Alhousna are Allah and AlRahmane , no more. all others are attributes, I didn't see any verse using any attribute and calling it a name of allah, there is only thse two names as you see in the verse above 17110

          Lord
          a man who is a member of the nobility, powerful man a man who has considerable power, authority, or influence over others

          OK, brother, I was pretty sure you weren't committing shirk, but still, it's a loaded word in English with heavy religious overtones, so why not just say noble, powerful man in the future to avoid confusion? We always need to be very careful with language.

          @loxbox13 Thanks for the ayat compilation. Good work.

            You missed "Kuma" after "Quloob" brother. "Kuma" is referring to TWO. Same as in 37114-119

            37114
            37115
            37116
            37117
            37118
            37119

            37114 And indeed, We have given Our grace to Moses and Aaron.
            37115 And We saved them and their people from the great disaster.
            37116 And We supported them, so that they became the winners.
            37117 And We gave both the clear Book.
            37118 And We guided them to the straight path.
            37119 And We kept their history for those who came later.

            It talks about only two but the problem is in English "Them" and "Their".

            This rule been made by arabs academics after the quran came to existance, so this rule doesn't apply to the quran, because the Quran uses duality and pluriel different way in some cases , but other cases duality and pluriel are used the same way

            5924

            5924 He is Allah; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Noble, the Wise.

            I believe that names should not be translated, the above aayat should be like "He is Allah; AlKaaliq, AlBaariu, AlMusawwairu, etc...

            May Allah guide us all towards the truth pr

              ?Historians like Vaqqidi have said Allah was actually the chief of the 360 gods being worshipped in Arabia at the time Mohammed rose to prominence. Ibn Al-Kalbi gave 27 names of pre-Islamic deities...Interestingly, not many Muslims want to accept that Allah was already being worshipped at the Ka'ba in Mecca by Arab pagans before Mohammed came. Some Muslims become angry when they are confronted with this fact. But history is not on their side. Pre-Islamic literature has proved this.? (G. J. O. Moshay, Who Is This Allah? (Dorchester House, Bucks, UK, 1994), pg. 13.

                What a stupid assertion!!

                Qur'aan quotes it that they adopt other miscellaneous gods by imaginative names besides Allah, i.e. in addition to Him.

                And when confronted they, the idol worshippers, name only Allah with reference to questions relating to creation etc.

                      The problem is the concept of the name Rahman, it is the only name special to allah and it is not used as an attribute
                      even Allah, it is used for shirk, Alihatakoum
                      but Rahman never beign used by any polytheist
                      it is a name that Mohamed Preached, and zoroastrians veiled it with hadiths inserting it with the attributes

                      Rahman means simply INFINITE MERCY
                      they kept mistranslating it because they think it'a an attribute, a thing Allah does, but they didn't think it's a desciption og the merciful, it means Ifinite mercy
                      Rahma ascending, Rahman

                        I know about the grammar that it doesn't apply on the quran, there is conditions where two's are used in pluriel
                        exemple

                        5924

                        These are the attributes of Allah, now is Allah one of Asmaa Houssna or not ? in the sunnah and hadith it is not, Why Allah say

                        and mention Allah's name upon it, and observe your duty to Allah. 54

                        why does he say mention the name of Allah ? and he doesn't say , mention allah ? sounds to me tere is a specific nzme of Allah

                          Just to add my 2 cents

                          Allah/The God whatever you call Him created all languages. I don't see the fascination of using arabic names/attributes when speaking about God especially if your native language isn't arabic.

                          The God tells us He has sent the message in different languages....it wouldn't make sense for God to favour ONE language over another. Language is a tool to deliver the message to us....He is above and beyond names peace

                          PEACE

                              yeah true, i get misled by the Yan Noon, and Waw Noon

                              I guess i have only this

                              Quulub is pluriel
                              Maa is dual

                              in the same word

                              it could be qalbakuma or qalbaykuma, but it is qulubakouma

                                Sorry dear, both are sound plural.

                                Here also, it goes from dual to pluriel

                                (&#65279

                                If ye two turn in repentance to Him, your hearts are indeed so inclined; but if ye back up each other against him, truly Allah is his Protector, and Gabriel, and (every) righteous one among those who believe and furthermore, the angels will back (him) up. It may be, if he divorced you (all) that Allah will give him in exchange Consorts better than you who submit (their wills) who believe who are devout who turn to Allah in repentance who worship (in humility) who travel (for faith) and fast previously married or virgins 334-5

                                I believe there is a rule in the duality and pluriel in the quran that wasn't adopted in the arabic language, notice, something belong to them is told in a dual, and something done to them is told in a pluriel.. for arabic both are duality, no matter how they use it, the quran grammar is wider than the arabic grammar.

                                  just to add my 2 cents Wink
                                  Allah/The God whatever you call Him created all languages. I don't see the fascination of using arabic names/attributes when speaking about God especially if your native language isn't arabic.
                                  The God tells us He has sent the message in different languages....it wouldn't make sense for God to favour ONE language over another. Language is a tool to deliver the message to us....He is above and beyond names peace
                                  PEACE

                                  Allah sent messages in different languages, but the this the LAST one was in Arabic therefore Allah preferred it over other languages.

                                  while this language is Arabic, rich, clear, perspicuous, eloquent, distinct, void of indistinctness, capable of transporting the perception from one mind to a listener and reader in a manner that it generates in the recipient mind exactly the same neurological process of observation and interpretation and creates a true copy of that perception.

                                  Indeed We have sent that Book as Written Book/Qur'aan in Arabic language/clear, perspicuous, eloquent, distinct, free from admixture, void of indistinctness, apparent like the daybreak and divested of the froth
                                  so that you people may be able to save it in memory/reflect and differentiate ......

                                  Indeed We have made that Book as the Written Book/Qur'aan in Arabic language, so that you people may be able to save it in memory/reflect and differentiate [4303

                                  It is not that I am saying Quran should not be read or understood in any other language, but it is just to make the record straight.About 80% of the Muslims in this world cannot read, understand or speak Arabic.

                                  Had We sent down this Quran in a non-Arabic language, they would have said, "Why have its verses not been well expounded?" Could a non-Arabic Book be revealed to an Arabic speaking person?, say, "It is a guide and a cure for the believers. As for those who do not believe, they are deaf and blind. It is as though they had been called from a distant place".

                                    Thank you for the beautiful aayat. But what means "THEN" in your post, I did not understand and what is the relation it has with my previous post?

                                    May Allah increase us all in TRUE knowledge pr

                                      Salaaman LB13,

                                      I know about the grammar that it doesn't apply on the quran, there is conditions where two's are used in pluriel
                                      exemple

                                      And still you gave the wrong references? They both above are dual bro. )

                                      5924

                                      These are the attributes of Allah,

                                      Attributes ??? Again ??? These are names brother, where are you? Just cool down and then read it. Look at me

                                      now is Allah one of Asmaa Houssna or not ? in the sunnah and hadith it is not, Why Allah say

                                      and mention Allah's name upon it, and observe your duty to Allah. 54

                                      why does he say mention the name of Allah ? and he doesn't say , mention allah ? sounds to me tere is a specific nzme of Allah

                                      ???

                                      Who told you that Allah is not the name? Is everything OK with you? hmm

                                      May Allah guide us all towards the truth pr

                                        He is perhaps saying the same thing. The Name of Allah- and is that you mention, pronounce the Name of Allah.

                                        In contrast

                                        "And you people remember Allah".

                                          Ar'Reh'maan Personal Name of Allah

                                          b) A slave/servant is referred/introduced/mentioned by the Personal Name of his Master and not by some attribute of Master

                                          In the days of gradual revelation of Grand Qur'aan the rational people paid more attention to the substance and avoided indulging in discourses and discussions about grammar and morphology etc. And moreover such things are of interest and necessity for a non-native/non Arab. And the claim in the Grand Qur'aan is that it has been made easy for comprehension and understanding of humanity irrespective of language barrier. It is thus evident that even without knowing the depth and niceties of language, grammar and morphology etc one can grasp the substance and essence of the message merely by acquaintance of Arabic. Therefore, without delving deep into the debate spread over thousands of pages, we plainly keep asking the Grand Qur'aan to make us understand whether http//haqeeqat.org.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Tabweeb/00003.%20Ar%20Rehman/2.gif is the Personal Name of our Sustainer Lord or is His Attributive Name reflecting His infinite mercifulness.

                                          It is our common perception and approach that when we introduce or mention a slave/servant or subject we do not say, "he-so and so is slave or subject of "merciful ", "powerful " etc. On the contrary we refer the Personal Name of his master/Lord. Similarly the relationship between the Person and the thing is that of Creator and the created. Creator is the Lord ............
