The numbers next to the names are their traditional abjad values. The “recited with the intention of…” notes are likewise customs that have taken root among people and in the old sources; they are neither fard nor wajib, nor are they an obligation established by a verse or hadith. You may recite any name you wish, with any intention you wish, as many times as you wish. It is Allah who accepts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many names of Allah are there in the Asma ul-Husna?
A hadith states that Allah has ninety-nine names and that whoever counts them will enter Paradise. The widely known list of ninety-nine is based on the narration of Tirmidhi; the names of Allah are not limited to this number.
How do you do dhikr with the names of Allah?
A particular name is repeated with an intention. As the count, the abjad value of the name is usually preferred; this is a custom, neither fard nor wajib. You can recite whichever name you wish, as many times as you wish.
What is the abjad number?
It is the sum of the traditional numerical values given to each letter of the Arabic alphabet. Using it as the target count in dhikr of the names of Allah is an established custom; it is not an obligation set by a verse or a hadith.
