The ruling on reciting the names of Allah after the juz'

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh, I am from one of the Arab countries, and in the mosque where we pray, after reciting the juz', which is a daily regular practice, they recite the names of Allah in order. Is there any evidence for this?

Answer:
This has no basis; it is a religious innovation (bid'ah). The names of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) are noble names by which a person supplicates, magnifies them, counts what he knows of them, and supplicates to Allah with them, seeking nearness to Him through His names and attributes. As for reciting them after every juz' of the Qur'an or after finishing the Qur'an, this has no basis. What is found in some mushafs, where the names of Allah are written at the end of the mushaf, also has no basis. It is obligatory that the mushafs be cleared of such writings so that people and the common folk do not think they are part of the Qur'an. It is obligatory that the mushaf contain nothing but the Noble Qur'an. People
