Source passages
“Most Qur'anic commentators, including al-Tabari (d. 923), al-Zamakhshari (d. 1143/44), and al-Razi (d. 1209), regard word Allah to be a proper noun i.e. (ism' li-dhatih), while other names denote attributes or adjectives known as the 99 Names of Allah (al-asmā' al-ḥusná lit. meaning: 'the beautiful names'). The most famous and frequently repeated names are "the Merciful" (ar-Raḥmān) and "the Compassionate" (ar-Raḥīm), al-Aḥad ("the One") and Al Hayy (the living one).”
