The 99 Names of Allah — Complete List with Arabic and Transliteration

On the Most Beautiful Names

The ninety-nine names of Allah — al-Asmāʾ al-Ḥusnā, the Most Beautiful Names — are the attributes by which God names Himself in the Qur’ān and the Sunna. The list presented here follows the narration of at-Tirmidhī (Sunan, hadith 3507), the one most widely cited in reference works. Other Companions and scholars compiled slightly different lists drawn from the Qur’ān — committing these names to memory and meditation is not conditioned on any single list.

“Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred minus one. Whoever enumerates them shall enter Paradise.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 2736 · Sahih Muslim 2677

On the transliterations

The transliterations follow the DIN 31635 convention, standard in most academic works. Long vowels are marked with a macron (ā, ī, ū) and emphatic consonants with an underdot (ḍ, ḥ, ṣ, ṭ, ẓ). Hamza is rendered ʾ and ʿayn ʿ. The precision is deliberate: Sukūn addresses readers who wish to pronounce these names correctly. TODO(scholar) — scholarly review of each English gloss.
