The Names and Attributes of Allah

Episodes

• Who's Really in Control? Al-Malik & Al-Maleek | #9 Allah's Names & Attributes | Ustadh Tim Humble 19.07.2026 55m

  Control is something we rarely question. We want control over our circumstances, our future, the people around us, and the outcomes we hope for. It's easy to think that if we could just hold on a little tighter, we'd finally feel at peace. But what if that way of thinking is exactly what's keeping us restless? In this episode of Fiqh al-Asma al-Husna series, Sheikh Muhammad Tim Humble explores two of Allah's Beautiful Names - Al-Malik and Al-Maleek - and what they reveal about ownership, authority, and the reality of who is truly in control. Along the way, he reflects on one of the Qur'an's most striking questions, a verse that strips away every illusion we cling to and reminds us that every soul, every possession, and every decree belongs to Allah alone. Whether you've struggled to accept Allah's decree, found yourself asking "Why did this happen to me?", or simply want to deepen your understanding of your Lord, this episode offers a perspective that's both humbling and deeply comforting. Sometimes, peace doesn't come from gaining more control. It comes from recognising that it was never ours to begin with.

• If Allah Is the Only Creator, Then What About Human Inventions? | #8 Allah's Names & Attributes 04.07.2026 55m

  Some Names of Allah don't just describe Him. They expose the difference between Him and everything else that exists. This episode of Fiqh al-Asma al-Husna series centres on three connected Names: Al-Khaliq, Al-Bari' and Al-Musawwir. These are Names that are brought together in the Quran in a single verse to describe how Allah brings everything into being. Look at every skyscraper, every aircraft, every invention people are proud of. Impressive as it looks, none of it was "created"; it was only rearranged from what Allah had already made. So Allah throws down a challenge that no engineer, no scientist, and no civilisation has ever met: Even if all of creation gathered together, they could not create a single fly. So what does true creation actually mean? And why does this one distinction expose the falsehood behind every form of shirk? The question is - if Allah alone brings things into existence from nothing, what does that mean for everything you fear, pursue, or place your trust in besides Him?

• Two Names of Allah That Will End Your Dependence on People | #7 Allah's Names & Attributes #AMAU 12.05.2026 45m

  There are Names of Allah that don’t just inform you… They dismantle everything you thought you understood about existence. This episode centres on two of the greatest: Al-Hayy and Al-Qayyoom - names many scholars held to be from the greatest names of Allah, 'Azza wa Jalla.Everything you see is marked by a beginning, a deficiency, an end, or weakness. But what of the One whose life was never preceded nor is His life touched by death, sleep, or any deficiency? The One who needs nothing… yet everything is sustained by Him.These names don’t just describe Allah - they establish why He alone is worthy of worship, reliance, and Du'aa.And hidden within them is a powerful reality… one that transforms how distress, hardship, and need are answered.The question is - are you willing to truly understand them and find in your life a sudden burst of Tawakkul like never before?00:00 - Precap & Introduction01:35 - Occurrences of “Al-Hayy” & “Al-Qayyoom” in the Qur’an03:20 - Al-Hayy06:53 - Why All of Allah’s Attributes Return to “Al-Hayy”08:57 - Different Things People Worship and Their Reality12:35 - Al-Qayyoom19:02 - The Vast Meanings of “Al-Hayy Al-Qayyoom”20:35 - Is “Al-Hayy Al-Qayyoom” Allah’s Greatest Name?22:32 - Seeking Relief Through “Ya Hayy Ya Qayyoom”25:35 - Only the Perfectly Living Can Perfectly Sustain27:29 - Allah Does Only What Befits His Majesty30:46 - Evidence for “Ya Hayy Ya Qayyoom” in Du’aa31:43 - The Distinction Between Names and Attributes in Du’aa33:22 - Submission and Lowliness Before “Al-Hayy Al-Qayyoom”34:28 - Acting Upon the Meanings of “Al-Hayy Al-Qayyoom”40:16 - The Meaning of “وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ”AMAU Junior: https://amaujunior.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amau...Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AMAUTelegram: https://t.me/amauofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AMAU...Twitter: https://twitter.com/AMAUoffici...iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/...Get in Touch: https://amau.org/getintouchBarakAllahu feekum.#AMAU #Allah #namesofallah #islamicknowledge #seekingknowledge
• The Secret to Understanding "Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem" | #6 Allah's Names & Attributes #AMAU 11.05.2026 40m

  A summary of the whole Qur'an in one Surah. And the first thing Allah put at the beginning, before any command, story, or ruling, was two names for mercy. That choice says a lot. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble talks about two names you hear all the time in this episode of Allah's Names and Attributes: Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem. Familiar, but not fully understood. Why do they start almost every Surah, except for one? You will know exactly what you are asking for and who you are asking it from once you understand it and use these names to call on Allah.

• Ar-Rabb: Why Prophets Made Dua With This Name | Allah's Names and Attributes #5 | Ust. Tim Humble 20.02.2026 50m

  They believed Allah created them. So why didn't they worship Him? It wasn't ignorance. They knew Allah gives life, controls the universe, and sends provision. But when it came to worshipping Him alone, they stopped. That same gap exists today. And it starts with a Name you say in every prayer, every Dua, every day, but may never have truly understood: Ar-Rabb. Scholars say this Name is so vast, it carries the meaning of every other Name and Attribute of Allah within it. Once you see what it contains, your entire relationship with Him shifts. There's a reason the Prophets used this Name when they called upon Allah. A reason it's the opening of the very first Surah. A reason it separates those who merely acknowledge Allah from those who truly worship Him. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains what Ar-Rabb reveals about Allah's control, His nurturing, His perfect decree, and what changes when you finally grasp what you're saying when you call upon your Rabb.

• What Do You Know About The Name “ALLAH”? | Names & Attributes of Allah #4 | Ust. Muhammad Tim Humble 28.12.2025 28m

  The Name Allah appears more than two thousand times in the Qur’an. Let that sink in. It’s in almost every duʿa you make, every dhikr you repeat, every moment you turn back to your Lord. Yet most of us say it thousands of times in our lives without ever stopping to ask the simplest question.Do I actually understand the One I’m calling upon?We move from ayah to ayah, dhikr to dhikr, prayers, hopes, fears… all built on a Name we use constantly but rarely study. And that gap changes everything about our worship.The Qur’an doesn’t teach you how to pray before it teaches you who you’re praying to. It begins with Names that carry the meanings of divinity, servitude, and the exclusive right to be worshipped.Knowing these Names is not the end of your journey. It’s the moment it truly starts. Because once you know what they mean, another question hits even harder:What do these Names ask from you?In this episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explores the Names Allah and Al-Ilah, and how understanding them reshapes worship, dependence, and the very way you see yourself as a servant of your Lord.Everyone submits to Allah, willingly or unwillingly.These Names reveal which path you’re really walking.Watch this.

• Allah's Greatest Name: The Key to Answered Du'a | Names & Attributes of Allah #3 | Ust. Tim Humble 17.12.2025 1h 5m

  Ever felt your Duas hit the heart on some days and feel flat on others? Many times it comes down to the Names you use when you call upon Allah. This episode digs into how those Names actually work, and why understanding them can change the way Allah’s mercy, help, and protection reach you. In this episode of Allah's Names and Attributes, you’ll discover the Names that describe who Allah has always been, the Names tied to His actions, the Names that free Him from every flaw, and the Names that carry multiple meanings at once. Suddenly, “al-Hayy”, “ar-Rahman”, and “as-Samad” become openings to knowing Allah, not just familiar words we repeat. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble also clears up the confusion around "Ihsaa" - what it truly means to “know” Allah’s Names in a way that strengthens your worship and transforms your Duas. And he points out the common mistakes many Muslims fall into when trying to seek benefit from the Names. Then comes the question every believer thinks about: Which is Allah’s Greatest Name - the Name connected to answered Duas? The evidences, the strongest scholarly views, and the practical takeaway are all laid out. Watch till the end - the next episode moves into specific Names that can reshape how you stand before Allah… if your heart is ready for it.
