Calling Allah by His name has numerous benefits and invoking these names in prayer and daily life can have a profound impact.

Allah SWT says in the Qur’an – Surah Al-Araf verse 180;

Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will be punished for what they used to do.

For example – Using the word “Al-Ghaffar” (The All-Forgiving) in supplications can be a means of seeking Allah’s forgiveness and mercy for one’s sins. Similarly, one can use the words Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum which draws a Muslim closer to Allah.
