Draft:Names of God in islam

Islamic traditions give to God, known as Allah, 99 names, collectively called in arabic أَسْمَاءُ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ "Allah's Beautiful Names". These names are considered to be very holy, and giving them to something other than God is considered to be a form of shirk (i.e. associating something to God), which is the worst sin in Islam.
