Journal Title: Marife Dini Araştırmalar Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 14, Issue 1

Abstract

In Islamic culture, the most beautiful names of Allah (al-Asma al-Husna) have an im-portant role: to know, understand, and to qualify God. Muslims believe in their creator within the framework of these names as they get to know him with these names and they try to worship him with these names in their prayers. In addition, al-asma al-husna had a value and importance in sufi culture and thought. According to sufi culture, firstly Sufis establish their dhikr on asma al-husna and secondly, all the creatures are the divine manifestation (tajalli) of the names and attributes of Allah who is excluded from all definitions and thirdly, the style of al-sayr and al-suluk (spritual training) is arranged in accordance with al-asma al-husna. Mawlana evaluates and designs life regarding to al-asma al-husna, the topics in his books were studied within the framework of the most beautiful names of Allah. In his books, Mawlana sometimes refers to al-asma al-husna directly and explains them and he sometimes clarifies the effects of Divine names and attributes of Haqq on the things and events indirectly.
