حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي زِيَادٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيدَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اسْمُ اللَّهِ الأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ { وَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ } وَفَاتِحَةُ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ { الم * اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ } .

Asma daughter of Yazid reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: "Allah's Greatest Names is in these two verses: "And your Ilaah (God) is One Ilaah (God), none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Ever-Merciful, the Mercy-Giving' and the beginning of Surah Al 'Imran, "A.L.M Allah, there is no deity but He, the Living, the Eternal." Sunan Abi Dawud 1496 [Hasan (Al-Albani) Sunan Abu Dawud 1496]
Allah is God's true name in Islam. Names like al hayyu and al qayyum describe His qualities. Muslims use these names in duas from quran and masnoon duas.
Al-Qawiyy means The All-Strong or The Powerful. Muslims say this name with ayatul kursi and other duas for safety. It reminds us that Allah's power never ends.
Many Muslims believe it is. Ayatul kursi is in surah baqarah. People say it for safety, peace, and hifazat. Its words show Allah's greatness and care like nothing else.
After every salah is Sunnah. Many Muslims also read it before sleep and when they wake up. This masnoon dua keeps you close to Allah and brings His protection.
Al-Wadud means The Most Loving or The Kind One. Muslims use this name in duas for muslims. It shows how much Allah loves and cares for us, just like al hayyu and al qayyum show other sides of Him.
