All of Allah’s Names are of Majesty and Perfection

August 19, 2007

All of Allah’s Names and Attributes are Names and Attributes of Majesty and Perfection, and no negative meaning can be derived from them.

“…To Him belong the most beautiful Names” [20:8]

This also necessitates that a being that does not have such Names/Attributes cannot be worthy of worship.

When he said to his father, “O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all? [19:42]

And,

And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers. [7:148]

Here an important point is made, Allah(swt) shows that one incapable of speaking is unfit for worship. So whoever rejects the attribute of Speech from Allah has actually fallen into the same error as Bani Isra’eel.
