And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. [Quran 7:180] Initial Principles Regarding the name of Allah Affirmation of everything that Allaah affirmed for Himself in His Book, or which His Messenger, sallallaahu alaihi wa sallaam, affirmed for Him. Without distorting, without denial, and without saying how they are and without making any resemblance with the creation. (tahreef, tateel, takyeef, tamtheel) Since Allaah knows better about Himself than anyone else, and His Messenger, sallallaahu alaihi wa sallaam, knows better than rest of creation about his Lord. To deny for Allaah everything which He has denied for Himself in His Book, or which His Messenger denied for Him, whilst believing its fully perfect opposite is confirmed for Allaah, the Most High. Since Allaah knows better about Himself than His creation, and His Messenger out of all the people is the one who knows best about His Lord, so denying death for Him includes affirmation of His perfect Life, and denying oppression for Him includes affirmation of His perfect Justice, and denying sleep for Him includes affirmation of His perfect charge/control over everything.
