Among the followers of Islam, the names of God (Allah) are held sacred and meditated on. According to tradition, there are ninety-nine names of Allah, called “the Beautiful Names.” They are found inscribed on monuments such as the Taj Mahal and on the walls of mosques. These names are chanted on an Islamic rosary, which consists of three sets of thirty-three beads. Worshipers repeat the names to help them concentrate their minds on Allah. The words Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, meaning “God the most gracious, God the most the compassionate,” are invoked at the beginning of each chapter of the Koran. Other Arabic names of God glorify Him as the creator, provider, and king.
