Few days ago I had a thought, to greet my friends and colleagues in the new year and Al Mawlid A-Nabawi (Prophet Muhammad's honorable birth, peace be upon him) with little presents, I wanted it to be a special idea, little greetings cards on which I write some cheerful phrases, should it be Quran verses or Hadith Sharif (speeches of the Prophet peace be upon him), or sentimental words?... then I said why wouldn't it be the beautiful names of Allah and their meanings, with a little supplication for them with a new year blessed with the chosen name, and put them in a small box and ask everyone to pick his/her present and surprise...
I’ve chosen some of the beautiful names of Allah, studied their meanings, prepared the cards, made the envelops, and presented them... the looks of surprise and happiness and the impact of their hearts were indescribable... and much more than I imagined... their sayings of thank were indicating how much they’ve been affected and how much they needed these words... Thanks to Allah that he guided me to this and I would not be guided if Allah didn’t guide me, it’s not from me but a grace from Allah... and I ask you to study the meanings of all of the names of Allah, because they open a lot of outlooks of faith and one feels with his/her nearness to Allah...
And here you can read all the letters I’ve written...
With all my love...
