Ilyas Mao: 99 Names of Allah Download | Lyrics
The easiest way to memorise the 99 Names of Allah is with a melody, at least that’s the case for Ilyas Mao, who has released a new melody listing the names.
Reward for Memorising the 99 Names of Allah
A hadith gives us a clear indication of the reward we can expect for memorising all 99 names of Allah.
Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah has ninety-nine names. Whoever memorizes them will enter Paradise.”
Al-Bukhaari (2736) and Muslim (2677)
The word memorise in this hadith may also refer to understanding the meaning of the names.
Isn’t that too easy?
Sort of. While the concept may sound simple we should ask ourselves how many of us, or how many people do we know, who have actually done it? The challenge here is putting our minds to work and getting into the learning.
Can the song help?
We are encouraged to recite the Quran in a melody in order to make it easier for us to memorise.
“The Messenger of Allaah SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Allaah does not listen to anything (more approvingly) than He listens to a Prophet reciting the Qur’aan aloud in a melodious voice…”
Saheeh Muslim
Therefore it makes perfect sense to use the technique to memorise the names too.
99 Names of Allah Music Video
In the music video, Ilyas Mao is singing with a plain background and starts are shown in his body. This may have been done to avoid distracting the viewer from the names. As a name is recited the translation appears, making it easier for us to not only memorise the names, but also understand their meaning.
