I hope you benefit from this compilation of Allah’s names.
Although I have done my best, I cannot guarantee the accuracy. I have
grouped the names with brackets “[“ and color coding in a way that helped me with remembering them, though it can be done in
multiple ways. Note: there is differing opinion about the authenticity of the last three names with question marks.
