Allah's 99 Names Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

Of all the qualities that Allah may possess,
There are many that fill us with awe and impress.
From mercy to power, from justice to love,
Each attribute is like a star above.

The Most Merciful, who showers grace upon grace,
And forgives our sins with a loving embrace.
The King of Dominion, who holds all in His hand,
And guides the course of each earthly command.

The Absolutely Pure, whose essence is divine,
And whose glory and splendor forever shine.
The Giver of Peace, who grants us tranquility,
And protects us from all harm and hostility.

The Guardian, Witness, and Overseer,
Whose watchful eye is ever near.
The All Mighty, who holds all strength and power,
And commands the universe with His will each hour.

The Compeller, who sets things right,
And the Restorer, who brings forth new light.
The Supreme and Majestic, whose greatness we see,
And whose glory and honor are clear for all to see.

The Creator and Maker, who fashioned all things,
And whose designs are perfect, without any strings.
The Originator, who brought forth all that exists,
And whose creative hand never misses or resists.

The All-Forgiving, who pardons all sin,
And grants us a new start from within.
The Subduer, who overcomes all opposition,
And the Ever-Dominating, who reigns with precision.

The Giver of Gifts, who grants us all we need,
And the Provider, who blesses with each word and deed.
The Opener and Judge, who guides us with His light,
And dispels the darkness of each long and lonely night.

The All-Knowing, whose wisdom is vast and wide,
And whose Omniscience fills us with awe and pride.
The Withholder and Extender, whose will is supreme,
And whose mercy and grace forever gleam.

The Reducer and Abaser, who humbles the proud,
And the Exalter, who lifts up each humble cloud.
The Honourer and Bestower, whose blessings abound,
And the Dishonourer, who humbles each haughty crown.

The All-Hearing and All-Seeing, who never miss a thing,
And the Judge, who balances each act and fling.
The Utterly Just, whose scales are always fair,
And whose verdict is just, without any compare.

The Subtle One and All-Aware, who knows each heart,
And whose wisdom and knowledge will never depart.
The Most Forbearing, whose patience knows no end,
And whose loving embrace is like a friend.

The Magnificent and Supreme, whose majesty is clear,
And whose glory and honour are always near.
The Forgiving, whose grace is always complete,
And whose mercy and love make each heartbeat.

The Most Appreciative, who sees each kind deed,
And whose reward is more than we could ever need.
The Highest and Exalted, whose throne is above,
And whose power and glory are forever in love.

The Greatest and Most Grand, whose might is supreme,
And whose mercy and grace fill each day like a dream.
The Preserver, who protects us with each step we take,
And the Sustainer, who never lets us break.

The Reckoner and Sufficient, whose count is complete,
And whose mercy and grace make each heartbeat.
The Majestic, whose splendour is like a sun,
And whose mercy and grace are for everyone.

The Most Generous and Esteemed, whose blessings we receive,
And whose mercy and love make us believe.
The Watchful, who sees each move we make,
And guides us to the right path for His sake.

The Responsive One, whose answers are always clear,
And whose mercy and love are forever near
