Books that deepen understanding of Allah’s majesty and blessings

I was watching *The beautiful names and attributes (3) - Assim al hakeem* on youtube. here he says: > and scholars of akida, when they speak about the name Allah they > expand, they go beyond identifying what Allah means and where it it > comes from, they speak about Allah with majesty. and here he says: > this is why when scholars talk about the name Allah they expand not to > make you bored or to write many pages that nobody is going to read > rather to cement the glorification of Allah in your heart... > he created the whole universe and you are > nothing compared to this...

Unfortunately, he doesn’t mention the specific titles. **I am looking for books** that attempt to write about Allah’s greatness, majesty, and countless blessings — works that describe Him as our Rabb (Lord), Ar-Razzāq (The Provider), Al-Khāliq (The Creator), Al-Malik (The Sovereign), and beyond — covering all His names, attributes, and aspects of His greatness, and showing how all of these relate to us. I am not looking for books on fiqh or sharīʿah rulings, but rather works that focus solely on Allah Himself — His Being, His names and attributes, His signs, His might, His mercy, and all aspects of His greatness.

I hope this is not completely outside the scope of this site. Over on History Stack Exchange, we have a [question](https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/79541/what-is-the-significance-if-any-of-the-distinct-pose-of-the-islamic-figures-de) about some Shia religious or historical battle paintings and the significance of their imagery. One of the paintings, the battle between Shah Ismail and Shaybani Khan by Mo'en Mosavver, has some writing on it. enter image description here Google Lens was able to read the text, but could not provide a meaningful English translation. از پای علم روی گردان بشه خاقان پیشانی و انچنان زنگر برآوردند که آن ها از هم جای نوری م کرده رعایت اضطرار برانداز را فراموش کی دو پر تمام مواد بر سرشندان باید با ف حضرت است If there is any site on this network where someone knows Persian, it would be yours. Can someone provide a translation? And if someone is able to answer the original question, it would be appreciated if you'd do so.

Allah has said that He would destroy everything, so would He destroy the Kursi too and does that mean that Allah will destroy everything and He will be the only one who will remain in the end?

How do Shia interpret Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyyah hadith about which of the people is the best after the Messenger of Allah?
Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyyah was a son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, in a Sahih hadith he mentioned: >I said to my father: Which of the people after the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is best? He replied: Abu Bakr. I then asked: Who comes next? He said: ‘Umar. I was then afraid of asking him who came next, and he migh...
Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyyah was a son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, in a Sahih hadith he mentioned: >I said to my father: Which of the people after the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is best? He replied: Abu Bakr. I then asked: Who comes next? He said: ‘Umar. I was then afraid of asking him who came next, and he might mention ‘Uthman, so I said: You came next, O my father? He said: I am only a man among the Muslims. I find this hadith contradicting to the fundamental values of Shia beliefs, not only the view of Umar to be one of the best people after the prophet, but that they are even mentioned before Ahl al-Kisa for example. How does Shia Muslims interpret this hadith?

Does my father need to clean the alleged place where he was licked by a dog a few decades ago from najis in order to begin doing prayers?
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that th...
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that the water will be cloudy. The question is, does my father need first of all to clean the alleged place where the dog licked him from najis (my father does not remember exactly where the dog licked him), since he wants to start doing prayers?

1.) Lately, I have been having a psychological crisis. Does Allah want me to go to Jannah? I go to the masjid for young adults and these sexist boys whom I grown up with. (Their parents are close friends with my parents.) They bully me and they are discouraging me. I overheard them saying they are praying to Allah so I will not go to Jannah because I do not deserve to go because I am selfish? I once said I want to go to the highest Jannah. They heard and said it was selfish of me. They said I do not deserve to go. You know the hadith "none of you is a believer till you love your brother what you love for yourself." I told them that hadith and their response was was that the hadith applies for muslim men to help each other and not muslim men to want the muslim women as they want for themselves-whether mahram or not- i got discouraged and been feeling guilty. I earlier said that I do not want to Jannah because I felt unworthy. I still do. But I feel I am too selfish and greedy to want the best for myself. I want good people to go to Jannah but not myself anymore. I do not want to go to hell either because of the pain. But not heaven because I do not deserve it because I am greedy to want not only Jannah but Jannah furdouse. 2.) Is it sinful for me to not want Jannah? Is it sinful for me to give up on myself? I know Allah will forgive me but I feel that I do not deserve it and If I want Jannah then I am greedy. Rigbt now, I want to go to Jannah again but I feel unworthy and guilty.

I have previously worked on a website where different car dealerships in the US provide their call recordings. my role was to review call quality in the websites and categorizing intent, not selling cars. In addition to dealerships, dentists and other companies also provide recordings. Through these recordings, the company evaluates whether the call center representatives performed their duties properly, and whether the customer called to buy a car or to get it serviced (fix or repair). However, when customers inquire about buying a car, they often discuss purchasing it on interest (riba) and talk about financing rates, etc. The owner of this website is not the dealership, but a third party that works for the dealership. Given this, is my income from working on this website halal or not?

Recently I have been wondering regarding something that I've been hearing since childhood. when we stand in the congregation for the obligatory prayer making the lines, the imam says in arabic a few phrases. i can make out that what he says is to make the lines in accordance with the sunnah (*our mother tongue is not arabic*) my question is that is it a must to say that in arabic everytime before we start the prayer?, or is it sunnah?, or are they doing it just to remind us to make the lines straight as its kind of like the responsibility of the imam.

How do we know that we can recite Al Baqarah 153 - 158, and not 157 - 159, or 151 - 155 ? If I look at either the quran.com or quranwbw.com, there is no symbol whatsoever that indicate it.
