This talk was delivered at the Muslim Community Center - East Bay (MCC East Bay) in Pleasanton, California on Thursday November 8, 2018.

The Prophet (SAW) said, “Allah Most High has 99 names – a hundred less one. Whoever encompasses them enters paradise.” Bukhari and Muslim. This is a Prophetic reminder to pay attention to these names. 

What does it mean to “encompass them”?

- Memorize;
- Say (dhikr);
- Use (duah/call);
- Encompassing them through knowledge of Allah and action (through submission and excellence);
- Making dua to Allah through these names;
- Turn to Allah through the names;
- Clothe oneself with these names (know them)
