The Names of Allah

Thirty-one days with His names.

The names and attributes of Allah, retold faithfully from the lessons of Ustadh Hisham Abu Yusuf. Each day takes a name to its heart: what it means, where it anchors in the Qur'an, a dua that calls on it, and how to live by it. Free to read, as sadaqah jariyah.
