According to a hadith, there are at least 99 Attributes of God, known as the Asmaul Husna (Beautiful Names of Allah). The names are also called 99 Attributes of Allah SWT (God). The Qur'an refers to God's Most Beautiful Names (Asmaul Husna) in several Surahs. Gerhard Böwering refers to Surah 17 (17:110) as the locus classicus to which explicit lists of 99 names used to be attached in tafsir. A cluster of more than a dozen Divine epithets which are included in such lists is found in Surah 59. Mystic philosopher Ibn Arabi surmised that the 99 names are "outward signs of the universe's inner mysteries". He is Allah SWT, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names . All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. (Surat Al-Hashr 59:24) Narrated Abu Huraira: Prophet Muhammad SAW said, “Allah SWT (God) has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Jannah Paradise.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari 50:894)
