As Muslims, we believe that Allah (SWT) is the creator of us, and He created this whole world for all human beings. Allah (SWT) has 99 names showing His qualities. One who learns these names can get unlimited benefits.
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Apostle (SAW) as saying: Verily, there are ninety-nine names for Allah (SWT) i.e. Hundred excepting one. He who enumerates them would get into Paradise. (Sahih Muslim Hadith # 6810)
In the Quran, Allah (SWT) says:
۪ وَ لِلّٰہِ الۡاَسۡمَآءُ الۡحُسۡنٰی فَادۡعُوۡہُ بِہَا
(Surat # 7 ayat # 180)
And good names are only for Allah (SWT), so call Allah with these names
