What is the meaning of the 99 names of Allah

Allah is our Creator. And though we cannot see Him, He wants us to learn more about Him. In the Quran and in the statements of the Prophet Muhammad, Allah has revealed "names" of Himself, which are glimpses of who He is. These names are actually infinite, but what He has revealed usually are counted as 99 names or attributes. It is by Allah's grace that we know of these names. We should learn them, reflect upon them, and yearn to meet Allah in the Hereafter.
