We are frequently asked about the resources used in the development of the graphics and card sets. As with all of our products and materials, we use only authentic resources in the making of our graphics/explanations in the 99 Names Card Sets. We have been especially cautious to avoid weak ahadith and unverified resources or explanations, for fear of spreading any false information or misguidance, insha’Allah.
Most of the online media (videos, primarily) that has been used in developing definitions has been posted in the supplementary materials on each page in the tabs beneath the graphics. For example, the video series’ by Dr Bilal Philips and brother Majed Mahmoud, also sourced from authentic sources.
There are many lists established by various scholars that enumerate the 99 Names of Allah based upon their own research. There are some variations in these lists, as the scholars used different parameters in establishing them. Our list of names is based upon the 99 Names of Allaah mentioned in Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen’s Al-Qawaa`id Al-Muthlaa, which were all derived from the authentic Quran and Sunnah.
We have done our best to explain and define the names with brevity, clarity and accuracy. We do not mention any specific ahadith or ayat in the short explanations on the graphics, because there simply is not space to add the evidences as well as the summarized explanations on each card. We also wanted to keep the definitions as concise and simple as possible, to encourage expanded study with the supplementary resources.
