Allah: The Nourisher.

Assalam alaikum,
Among the Beautiful Names of Allah, the Glorified Creator of the Universe, is AL-MUQITU--the Nourisher, the Maintainer. This Noble Name means He creates the nourishment of all creatures. The sustenance due to one will NOT run out until death overtakes him.

He gives nourishment without being asked to the ones who cannot ask and work for their own nourishment. For the others who can, He created means of sustenance... ALLAHU JALLAH JALALAHUU.


Allah is also All-Hearing (AS-SAMI'U). This Noble Name indicates that Allah is the One who hears all... that which comes from the lips, passes through minds, is felt by the hearts... the rustling of leaves in the wind, the footsteps of the ants and the atom's moving through the 'void'.

The Name, AS-SAMI'U, is an attribute of perfection, absolute perfection which does not depend on means, conditions or limitations. He hears and registers, understands, satisfies responds and corrects... ALLAHU JALLA JALALAHU.
