The Many Names of Allah

According to Islam the Prophet Muhammad invoked Allah through a number of divine names of which there are 99.

The Prophet Muhammad did not produce a formal list of the 99 names of God he referred to which led to disputes among Muslim groups and resulted in different lists of names being generated by different sources.

Yet there is an overall consensus among Muslim nations about the 99 names; mostly integrating 81 names revealed in the Holy Koran, with 18 names from Hadith.

The following 99 names are agreed by the vast majority.
