Guidelines Concerning Names Which May Correctly Be Attributed To Allaah,.... by Rashduct4luv(m): 8:19am On Nov 15, 2019
Praise be to Allaah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah and his family and companions.

All the names of Allaah are tawqeefi, i.e., we should accept what is narrated in the Qur’aan and Sunnah and not add or subtract anything. Based on this, it is not correct to call Allaah by any name other than those by which He has called Himself in His Book or those that His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) called Him by in the saheeh ahaadeeth, because the human mind cannot work out the names that Allaah deserves, so we must stop at what is mentioned in the texts, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And follow not (O man, i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allaah)”
[al-Isra’ 17:36]

Calling Allaah by a name that He has not called Himself, or denying a name by which he has called Himself is a transgression against the rights of Allaah. So we should observe the proper etiquette and adhere to that which is narrated in the texts.

With regard to words which are mentioned in the Qur’aan and Sunnah only by way of description or information, and it is not narrated that Allaah is called by these names, it is not correct to call Him by them, because some of the attributes of Allaah have to do with His actions, and the actions of Allaah have no end, just as His words have no end.

For example, some of the attributes of Allaah that refer to His actions describe Him as coming, bringing, taking, withholding and seizing etc., as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And your Lord comes with the angels in rows”
[al-Fajr 89:22]

“He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave”
[al-Hajj 22:65]

“Verily, (O Muhammad) the Seizure (punishment) of your Lord is severe and painful”
[al-Burooj 85:12]

So we attribute these characteristics to Allaah as they are mentioned, but we do not call Him by them (i.e., we do not make names out of them), so we do not say that among His names are al-Jaa’i (the Comer), al-Aati (the Comer), al-Mumsik (the Withholder) or al-Baatish (the Seizer), etc. Rather we say that this is what He does and attribute those actions to Him.

And Allaah knows best.

See al-Qawaa’id al-Mathla fi Sifaat-Illaahi wa Asmaa’ihi al-Husna, 13, 21, by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him).

Source: Islam Q&A

So before you use a name as part of Allah's there must be evidence in the Qur'an and Sunnah to justify this.
Names like Rasheed is not part of the names of Allah and there is a difference of opinion on Saboor as being among.

For Example: Allah is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim.
Allah says in Ta ha 20 vs 5 Ar-Rahman (Allah) Istawa (rose over) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).

Here Allah calls himself Ar-Rahman. This is also present many times in the Qur'an as "In the name of Allah, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim".

Allah is Ash-Shaf' (i.e. the Healer)
Aisha reported: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would visit a sick person, he would say, “Take away the pain, O Lord of all people, and give healing for you are Ash-Shaf' (i.e. the Healer). There is no healing but your healing, a healing that leaves no trace of illness.”

I too believed this before. That form of 99 names of Allah that starts with Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim and ends with Ar-Rasheed and As-Saboor came from a hadith that is not authentic.

So there is no bad meaning to them .

The Glorious Quran definitely talks of Jesus as a prophet. And all Muslims acknowledge and love the prophets of God. Go and find out about the original bible which was stolen and hidden, but by the will of God Almighty, found and is now in Turkey I believe. It talks about the coming of the last prophet.

Give me re reference for your original bible found in Turkey. If Jesus was a prophet according to what you said then why do you choose to obey Mohammed why not Jesus who performed miracles and lived a pure life. Why Mohammed who was a violent man all the days of his life

Call Allah by names He call Himself from the Qur'an and Sunnah.
It does not depend on meaning but on following the scripture.

If the name has no place from the Qur'an and Sunnah then it is NOT appropriate to call Allah by it. if the meaning of the name is good then you may call yourselves by it. What does Wujud mean?

The Testimony of the Qur’an
The Qur’an declares many wonderful things about the prophet Jesus. Three surahs (or chapters) are named after references to him, and he is spoken of in fifteen surahs (ninety-three verses) altogether, more than any other person in the entire Qur’an.
The Qur’an teaches that Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead (3:49; 5:113), was born of the virgin Mary (3:45-47; 23:50; 19:16-22), brought the gospel to the Jewish people (3:49-51; 13:38), and was an apostle and prophet of God (3:49; 6:85-90). In the Qur’an, Jesus alone is supported by the Holy Spirit (2:87, 253). Jesus alone is called “the Word of God” (3:45; 4:171) and “the Messiah” (“Christ,” 3:45; 4:157, 172, etc). Yet the Qur’an is not the only testimony to Jesus. Nor is it the primary one. The Qur’an repeatedly states that God sent prior revelations to the Jews and the Christians: The Torah (Taurat), the Psalms (Zabur), and the Gospel (Injil). Have you ever read what these prophetic words say about Jesus?

can you then separate the Word of Allah from Allah, are these two different or one, if they are different, how? if they are one, why then do you disbelief that Jesus is God and Mohammed is a false prophet?

I'M EXPECTING A REPLY FROM YOU.

Sorry bro. This is shallow. Word of Allah means His statement "be and it is".

In Qur'an 3 vs 59 Allah says: Verily, the likeness of 'Iesa (Jesus) before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“(Remember) when the angels said: ‘O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allaah gives you the glad tidings of a Word [“Be!” — and he was! i.e. ‘Eesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary)] from Him, his name will be the Messiah ‘Eesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), held in honour in this world and in the Hereafter, and will be one of those who are near to Allaah.
He will speak to the people, in the cradle and in manhood, and he will be one of the righteous.’
She said: ‘O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me.’ He said: ‘So (it will be) for Allaah creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: “Be!” and it is’” [Aal ‘Imraan 3:45-47]

Jesus can't be God because he did many miracles, so many have done miracles before him.
Jesus can't be God because he has no father. Adam has no parent and Eve has no mother.
Jesus is supported by the Holy Spirit. This is translated as meaning Angel Gabriel and nothing more. Other prophets and humans have been supported by Angels as Allah wills.

The Qur'an is a Scripture confirming the previous scripture of Injil, Tawrah, Zaboor and others not the Bible.
We believe in Jesus as one of the greatest messenger of Allah. Not God but 100% human.

It befits not (the Majesty of) Allaah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allaah, by saying that ‘Eesa (Jesus) is the son of Allaah]. Glorified (and Exalted) be He (above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it: “Be!” and it is.

[‘Eesa (Jesus) said]: ‘And verily, Allaah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allaah’s religion of Islâmic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets).’
Then the sects differed [i.e. the Christians about ‘Eesa (Jesus)], so woe unto the disbelievers [those who gave false witness by saying that ‘Eesa (Jesus) is the son of Allaah] from the Meeting of a great Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection, when they will be thrown in the blazing Fire)”[Maryam 19:34-38]


Here is our unchangeable belief concerning Jesus (Alayhi salam).
