All of the 99 names of Allah are makhlooq, which means that they are real and exist independently. We find that Allah's 99 names in the Holy Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) serve as a guide to believers who want to know more about Allah. Allah is the Arabic word for God in Islam. The name Allah is unique in that it is not an attribute or a descriptive word, but rather the name of the One true God. Allah has 99 names which are known as Asma ullahi Husna. These names are mentioned throughout the Quran and are used to bring about love, compassion, and awe for Allah.
