A Guide to the Evidence for the Remaining Names of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: What is the evidence for the remaining names of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
I do not know of any evidence indicating that the remaining names are among the names of Allah; for the names of Allah are derived from the Qur'an and the Sunnah, taken from the Qur'an and what is authentic of the hadiths. I do not know of any evidence that the remaining names are among the names of Allah, but Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Rahman 55:26-27] This is a verb, and not every verb is used to form a name. This is a matter of information, not a matter of naming. [Ar-Rahman 55:27] But what came is "the First" and "the Last" in place of "the Remaining," the Last after which there is nothing.

كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ وَيَبْقَىٰ وَجْهُ رَبِّكَ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِAnd there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.
