Oneness of the Names and the Qualities of Allah

Assalam alaykum brothers and sisters

1 We must not name or quality Allah except with what He mention in quran or His Messenger's has named or qualified Him in the sahih Hadith

2. None can be named or qualified with the Names or Qualifications of Allah. if a person wants to name any one name allah then he should add first 'ABD' for male and AMT for female means SLAVE for ex: ABD-ul- RAHAMAN or AMT-ul RAHAMAN (SLAVE OF RAHAMAN) and the Qualifications e.g.al-raheem: Most Merciful like wise 99 names of allah and last one is ALLAH

regarding mercy it says in sahih bukhari vol 8, book 6, No 476: Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Verily Allah created Mercy. The day He created it, He made it into one hundred parts. He withheld with Him ninety-nine parts, and sent its one part to all His creatures. Had the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer known of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he would not consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire."

We must believe in all the qualities of Allah which Allah has stated in His Book (the Quran) or mentioned through His Messenger (Muhammad [SAWS]) without changing their meaning or ignoring them completely or twisting the meanings or likening them (giving resemblance) to any of the created things, e.g. Allah is prevent over His Throne as mentioned in the Qur’an (V 20:5)

Also Allah says: 'There is nothing like unto Him and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer’ (V. 42:11). This holy Verse proves the quality of hearing and the quality of sight for Allah without likening them (or giving resemblance) to any of the created things and likewise He also says: ‘To one whom I have created with Both My Hands’ (V.38:75); and He also says: ‘The Hand of Allah is over their hands’ (V.48:10).
