Gaining an understanding of the Extremely Beautiful Names of Allah (*al-Asma’ al-Husna*) is a noble branch of knowledge—indeed, it is the "greatest understanding" (*al-fiqh al-akbar*). It serves as the foundation upon which this religion is built. For this reason, the Holy Quran abounds with evidence establishing this basis; scarcely a single verse is devoid of a mention of Allah’s Extremely Beautiful Names and Exalted Attributes. This underscores the immense importance, profound significance, and abundant benefits of this noble field of study. It is a fundamental pillar of faith, a cornerstone of the religion, and a primary tenet of the Islamic creed—the very foundation upon which the lofty stations and high ranks of the faith are constructed. How could human affairs be set right, or the condition of humanity be improved, without knowledge of their Originator, Creator, Maker, and Provider—without knowing His Extremely Beautiful Names, Exalted Attributes, and perfect qualities that testify to His absolute perfection, majesty, and greatness? He alone is truly worthy of worship, and no deity deserves worship but Him. Yet, most people have become so preoccupied with what was created *for* them that they have neglected the very purpose for which *they* were created.
No need is more pressing than human beings' need to know their Lord, Creator, Sovereign, and the Disposer of their affairs—the One who determines their provisions. They are in constant, absolute need of Him; they can neither attain righteousness nor spiritual purity except through knowing Him, worshipping Him, and believing in Him alone—glorified be He. Consequently, a person’s share of righteousness, and their worthiness of praise and commendation, are directly proportional to their knowledge of their Lord—glorified be He—and their commitment to performing deeds that please Him and draw them closer to Him, through sound speech and righteous actions.
