Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What book explains the names and attributes of Allah, and which one do you advise us, O our Shaykh, to read?
Answer:
In the *Al-Nuniyyah* by Ibn al-Qayyim, there is a collection, or many, of the names and attributes of Allah; I think about ninety-nine of the names and attributes of Allah. He presented them and explained them in the same poetry. Also, there is a separate poem in it by one of the scholars of the Al-Shaykh family, *Al-Maqasid al-Asna fi Asma' Allah al-Husna*. It is a very good, smooth, and eloquent poem that one longs to read and hear. It is the poem *Al-Qawl al-Asna fi Asma' Allah al-Husna*. And there are many commentaries on the beautiful names of Allah. Yes.
