Notes:
Shaykh Abu’l Ma’ālī ‘Azīzī
bin ‘AbdulMalik chose one verse each to illustrate each of the Asmā’
u’l Qur’ān. The verse numbers shown above in double-brackets are those
that were selected by him.

Al-Munādī (The Inviter to faith) has been quoted
as a name of the Qur’ān although some of the mufassirīn (commentators
on the Qur’ān) say it refers to the Beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu
      ‘alayhi wa Sallam. There is also a difference in interpretation about
the names Sirāt u’l Mustaqīm (The Straight Path) and ‘Urwatu’l
Wuthqā (The Firm Handhold). Wallāhu wa Rasūluhu A’lam
(Allāh and His Prophetic Messenger Know Best).

Reminder:
We should remind ourselves of the advice of Imām ‘Abdallāh
bin ‘Alawī al-Haddād Rady Allāhu ‘Anhu
to recite at least one juz of the Qur’ān everyday.
