[(Al-Muhyi and Al-Steer) and Their Relationship to the Names and Attributes]
Are (Al-Muhyi and Al-Steer) considered among the names of Allah?
Al-Muhyi is not among the names of Allah; among the names of Allah is Al-Hayy (The Living). As for Al-Muhyi, it is an attribute of action from the actions of Allah.Allah the Exalted said: [Ghafir:68], so Al-Muhyi is an active participle from Ahya (to give life); it is among the attributes of action, not among the names.
As for Al-Steer, a hadith has been reported regarding it, but it requires examination of its authenticity. If it is authentic, then it is among the names of Allah; because the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community is that whatever is authentic in the names of Allah from the Messenger of Allah is affirmed,Meaning: affirmed as a name by which He is named.
