Asma ul Husna (The 99 names of Allah)
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
( surah Al-'A'raf : 180)
Say, "Call upon Allah or call upon the Most Merciful. Whichever [name] you call - to Him belong the best names." And do not recite [too] loudly in your prayer or [too] quietly but seek between that an [intermediate] way.
( surah Al 'Isra' : 110)
The essential name of the Almighty Creator, which is confirmed by the religion of Islam, "Allah" has no dictionary meaning.
With the exception of this name, all other names that describe Allah in the Holy Quran are known as the Asma ul Husna.
The phrase Asma ul Husna, made up of the word asma, the plural for "name", and husna, meaning beautiful or most beautiful, means "Allah's most beautiful names."The names which are attributes of Allah can be found in the Holy Quran.

From surah Al-'A'raf : 180 & surah Al 'Isra' : 110, it is clear Allah loves that we call upon Him by His Beautiful Names . And worship Him by that which His Names demand.
