During this 12-week course, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus will expound upon the 99 Beautiful Names of God. Students will be helped to memorize the 99 names along with a supplication that is recited before and after. In each session, a few of the Names will be explored and a special emphasis will be placed on how the Names relate to the human being. An attempt will be made to explain the Names in a way that encourages the student to reflect on what occurs around them as manifestations
of Allah's Names and Attributes. The course will be based on Ghazali’s commentary al-Maqsad al-Asna fi Sharh Asma’ Allah al-Husna (The Noblest Aim—a Commentary of the Beautiful Names of God).

On completion of this course, successful students will:

- Memorize the 99 Beautiful Names of Allah
- Understand the meanings of each name and how to turn to God through these meanings
- Learn how to identify the manifestation of these Names in the world around them
- Strive to implement the counsel for each name
- Strive to attain higher levels of faith and certainty

This course is suitable for beginners who have not studied Allah’s Names previously.

The following materials will be provided:
- Supplication through the Beautiful Names of God
- An English translation of a poem on God’s beautiful Names written by Habib Umar bin Hafiz.

In addition, students are encouraged to have a copy of Imam al-Ghazali’s commentary, which is available as an English translation.

This class will take place every Tuesday at 8:30pm PST. This class is held at MCC masjid in Pleasanton and will be broadcast live online each week.
