A New Approach To Asma'ul Husna

This approach will look at the:

   1. Root Word

   2. Spelling and Harakat

of the Asma'ul Husna to precisely understand why Allah had chosen such name as the description of Himself.

To illustrate this importance, the easiest example is when Allah is describing Himself as "The Forgiver". To say this, simply calling Himself as  الغَافِر  is enough.

However, in term of forgiveness, Allah purposefully did not choose  الغَافِر  as the perfect description of Himself. Instead, He chose to describe Himself by, not only with one name, but two:

   1.   الغَفُور 

   2.   الغَفَّار

So, how are these three connected?

Both  الغَفُور   and  الغَفَّار  are actually the derived form of  الغَافِر  as its hyperbolic form. In other words:

   1.   الغَافِر  = The Forgiver

   2.   الغَفُور = The Extreme Forgiver

   3.   الغَفَّار = The Extreme Forgiver

Note that both  الغَفُور   and  الغَفَّار  are translated as "The Extreme Forgiver". This is purposefully put here as such because this is how these two names are commonly translated by the majority that can be found almost everywhere.  

There are fundamental differences between those two names, hence is why Allah had chosen them both to clearly define Himself in term of forgiveness, so it becomes a problem if they both are treated the same as "The Extreme Forgiver". 

This is the problem that this New Approach is set to tackle. 

This is where the "Spelling and Harakat" explanation will illustrate in what sense they are different: 

   1. The name  الغَفُور   has the "Spelling and Harakat" that indicates that it is the Sighah Mubalaghah II

   2. The name  الغَفَّار   has the "Spelling and Harakat" that indicates that it is the Sighah Mubalaghah III

Therefore, for those who truly want to appreciate and understand Allah through the Beautiful Names that He had chosen for Himself, it becomes necessary look at them through this New Approach of:

    1. Root Word

    2. Spelling and Harakat

It is hoped that through this New Attempt, more people are able to truly connect to Allah by His Beautiful Names in a new dimension unlike before.
