Raḥmān just ‘Raḥmān’ by removing the wordعَبْد  is also widespread. This is haram and must be avoided.^[1]

Always bear in mind that all of Allah’s names are tawqīfī. This means, one should only call upon Allah with the names mentioned in the Quran, in hadith, or established by Islamic law. One cannot call upon Allah with a name of their own desire.^[2]

May Allah grant us the ability to acquire knowledge of Islam and act according to it.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                             صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Virtues of memorising the 99 الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰی

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم declared:

اِنَّ لِلّٰہِ تِسْعَۃً وَّ تِسْعِیْنَ اَسْمَآءً مِئَۃً غَیْرَ وَاحِدٍ مَنْ اَحْصَاہَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّۃَ

Allah indeed has ninety-nine names; a hundred minus one. Whoever memorises them will enter Paradise.^[3]

Scholars comment on this by saying, “Allah has countless more names than ninety-nine. In this hadith, the ninety-nine names mentioned are those which will lead a person to Paradise if he memorises them.”
