In Your Hands Now Are the Keys to Happiness
What if I told you that there are ninety-nine keys that can completely change your life? Ninety-nine names that, if you come to know them with true knowledge, you will find answers to every question that has bewildered you, tranquility for every anxiety that troubles you, strength in every weakness that defeats you, and a guide for every confusion that scatters you.
These ninety-nine keys are the Beautiful Names of Allah.
Imagine you are in your darkest moments, alone, afraid, with no one to hear you... and then you discover that there is "As-Sami'" (The All-Hearing), who hears the whispers of your heart before you even speak them. Imagine you are sick and the doctors have given up on your case, then you come to know that there is "Ash-Shafi'" (The Healer), in whose hand is the true cure. Imagine you have searched for provision and could not find it, then you remember the name of Allah, "Ar-Razzaq" (The Provider), for He alone holds the keys to all provision and in His hand are the treasures of the heavens and the earth, and to Him all needs are raised.
How many times have you heard "Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem" and let it pass by casually? How many times have you said "Al-Qawiyy Al-Mateen" without truly feeling His unconquerable power? How many times have you called upon Allah by His name "Al-Wakeel" without knowing the reality of its meaning?
We have lived our lives repeating these magnificent names without diving into their depths, without understanding their meanings, without living the sweetness of faith in them. We were like one who possesses a treasure but does not know its value, or like one who carries a healing medicine for every ailment but does not use it.
In this book, every one of the ninety-nine names has a real or illustrative story that will shake your heart. Stories of prophets whom Allah saved from certain death, stories of the weak who became strong, stories of the desperate who found hope, stories of the lost who were guided, stories of the sick who were cured, and stories of the poor whom Allah enriched from sources they never expected.
You will not read dry, theoretical words. You will live through real moments that changed the course of history. You will cry with the Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him, in the fire. You will fear with Moses, peace be upon him, before the sea. And you will rejoice with the Prophet Job when everything was returned to him after his trial. And you will discover that these names are not just for the prophets, but they are for you as well—today, now, in your own life.
Whether you are a Muslim or a seeker of truth, this book will answer for you the most important question: Who is God? And you will discover that He is not distant from you as you might think, but is closer to you than anything. He hears you when everyone forgets you, He sees you when you are alone, He loves you even when you make mistakes, and He is waiting for you to return to Him.
After you finish this book, you will not be the same person you were before. Your outlook on life will change, your trust in Allah will increase, and you will feel a tranquility you have never known before. You will find yourself in every situation remembering a name of Allah, and your heart will be at ease and find peace.
When you are sick, you will remember the name of Allah "Ash-Shafi" (The Healer) and call upon Him with certainty.
When the world closes in on you, you will remember the name of Allah "Al-Fattah" (The Opener) and ask Him to open for you the doors of relief.
Ninety-nine names. Ninety-nine gates to Paradise. Ninety-nine paths to knowing Allah. Are you ready?
