Allah’s Attributes Ibn al-Qayyim once wrote that love for a beloved originates in the beauty and perfection of the beloved. Hence, by knowing and becoming familiar with Allah’s names, attributes and actions, one will love Him more and his Iman (faith and acceptance) will become stronger. When Ibn Taymiyyah explained what the most precious and beneficial knowledge is, the first matter he mentioned was the knowledge of Allah’s Names, Attributes, and Actions, which plants in the heart the love, hope, fear and glorification of Him (swt). No one would deny that knowing the One we worship improves our `Ibadah and that not knowing who Allah is makes our `Ibadah almost meaningless. Allah (swt) said Himself: So know that Laa ilaaha ill Allah (there is nothing worthy of worship but Allah)... (Qur’an 47:19) There is nothing like unto Him (Qur’an 42:11), There is none comparable to Him (Qur’an 112:4) No vision can grasp Him, but His Grasp is over all vision. (6:103). Whose word can be truer than Allah’s? (Qur’an 4:122) ALLAHOE AKBAR!
