Book Reviews of The Name and the Named
Book Review: Beautiful and Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm currently reading this book...and I highly recommend it. A simplistic and inspiring reading it is.
What this book is about: The significance of each of the 99 names of Allah swt. This book goes a step beyond a mere definition, but rather expounds on how each name is an attribute of Allah and thereby a reflection on to us. Prophet Adam was first taught and bestowed upon all of Allah's names. We, as Prophet Adam's descendants, are an image of Allah swt's attributes. Knowing each of the Names helps us to learn ourselves. It is said in the Quran Majeed that our purpose of our lives here on earth is to KNOW/WORSHIP/SERVE (synonyms in the Arabic term) Allah swt - and to know ourselves is to know Allah swt through His names since we reflect those 99 attributes. Gives new meaning to the 'God-within'. We, as human beings, are limited in our faculties. Repeating and remembering (dhikr) an attribute 'activates' and enhances that quality from within since we are attuning to that specific name of Allah swt's - and thus balancing and healing our souls.
Summary of The Name and the Named
A contemporary presentation of the 99 divine attributes or names of God according to the Islamic Sufi tradition. In this volume, Tosun Bayrak explains how to use these Names for the transformation of the soul into its original and primordial nature.
