UNDERSTANDING OF EACH NAME

The Prophet (pbuh) has said: “Adopt the akhlaq (character) of Divinity”
The only way to know Allah is through His attributes. In order to understand these names and apply them to our lives, we need to look at 3 facets of each of the attributes.

THEO-ETHICS
Looking at the name and its
meaning in relation to Allah.

PSYCHO-ETHICS
Assuming that name within
our psychology.

SOCIO-ETHICS
The actions which manifest themselves
as a result of understanding the name.
