Say, ‘Call upon Allah or call upon Rahman [The Gracious]; by whichever name you call Him, His are the most beautiful names.’
Islam, The Holy Qur’an, 17:111.
There are ninety-nine names of Allah; he who commits them to memory [and enumerates them] would get into Paradise. Verily, Allah is Odd (He is one, and it is an odd number) and He loves odd numbers.
Islam, Saying of the Holy Prophet (sa), Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2677.
Allah is the name of that perfect Being Who is truly worthy of worship, combines in Himself all perfect attributes, is free from all defects, is One without associate and is the fountainhead of all beneficence. In His Holy Book, God Almighty has described His name Allah as combining in itself the attributes of all other names and qualities. No other name has been given this rank.
Islam, Saying of the Promised Messiah (as), The Essence of Islam – Vol. I, p.49.
But Moses said to God, ‘If I come to the Israelites and say to them, “The God of your ancestors has sent me to you”, and they ask me, “What is his name?” what shall I say to them?’ God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM [Yahweh].’
Judaism, The Torah, Exodus, 3:13-14.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Christianity, The Bible, Matthew 7:7
In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the only means of deliverance is the chanting of the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.
Hinduism, Madhya 6:242.
Contemplate the Name yourself; inspire it to others; By attending to it, discoursing of it, living by it, obtain liberation. The true essence, eternal is the Lord’s Name: By spontaneous devotion, says Nanak, chant the Lord’s praise.
Sikhism, Adi Granth, Gauri Sukhmani 19, M:5, 289.
