The Most Important Muslim Name for GodOf all the 99 Beautiful names, what is the most important Muslim name for God? I have my own personal favorites, and everyone has an opinionated answer to this question. What would you say? In my humble opinion, Al-Quddus, the Pure One is by far, the most important Muslim name for God.

This name for God is very similar to Al-Rahman, but some would teach that the benefits of this name apply only to Muslims. Let us see whether or not this is true.
