The Shaykh :"Chapter: The causes of increasing faith:
First: Knowing the names of Allah and His attributes, for the more a servant increases in knowledge of them and their implications and their effects, the more he increases in faith in his Lord and love for Him".
For example, if you know the name al-Ghafur (The All-Forgiving) and that He is the One who forgives, as Allah the Exalted said:[Ar-Ra'd 13:6] this obligates you to love Allah (Mighty and Majestic) because He is All-Forgiving. Likewise, we say this regarding al-Rahim (The Merciful), and likewise regarding al-Hakim (The Wise), al-Aziz (The Almighty), and the others. The more you believe in any of the names of Allah, the more you increase in faith in Allah, love for Him, and glorification of Him.

First: Knowing the names of Allah and His attributes, for the more a servant increases in knowledge of them and their implications and their effects, the more he increases in faith in his Lord and love for Him".
For example, if you know the name al-Ghafur (The All-Forgiving) and that He is the One who forgives, as Allah the Exalted said:
And indeed, your Lord is full of forgiveness for the people despite their wrongdoing
وإن ربك لذو مغفرة للناس على ظلمهم.
