The 99 beautiful names of Allah

The 99 Names of Allah has inspired veteran British composer John Tavener to create his new classical soundtrack "The Beautiful Names," to be played in Westminster Cathedral.

"All I can say is, it’s a wonderful text — basically a list of names, some of majesty, some of mercy — that I’ve set as theophanies: as soundings-forth on the nature of the divine, with music that reflects their meaning. The Beneficent, the Opener, the Subtle," Tavener told The New York Times on Sunday, June 17.



Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
