Divine Names in the Quran

The Quran uses a rich vocabulary for God’s names and attributes (asmāʾ Allāh al-ḥusnā). These notes track how names appear in translation, Arabic roots, and links to surahs and ayat.

  • Allāh — the primary divine name
  • Ar-Raḥmān — the Entirely Merciful
  • Ar-Raḥīm — the Especially Merciful
  • Rabb — Lord / Sustainer (often with a complement: Rabb al-ʿālamīn, etc.)
