Tip#4 : FIND OUT ALLAH'S NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES.

The more you know about Allah, the more your heart will become attached to Him.

Also learn about the life of the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) and his companions as this will increase your love for them and alternatively increase your love for Allah.

The 99 Most Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allah the Almighty

"He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
(Surat Al-Hashr 59:24)

"And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them"
(Surat Al-A’raf 7:180)

"Allah – there is no deity except Him. To Him belong the best names."
(Surat Taha 20:8)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Prophet Muhammad SAW said,
“Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows them will go to Paradise.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari – Book 50 Hadith 894

Abu Huraira reported Prophet Muhammad SAW as saying: Verily, there are ninety-nine names for Allah, i.e. hundred excepting one. He who enumerates them would get into Paradise. And Hammam has made this addition on the authority of Abu Huraira who reported it from Prophet Muhammad SAW that he said: “He is Odd (one) and loves odd number.”
Sahih Muslim – Book 35 Hadith 6476

It is not possible to perfectly translate the names and attributes of Allah from their original Arabic into English. However, here are some fairly close definitions.

You can check out my book "The Names Of Almighty Allah" to learn more about the mighty names and also to learn how to live by those mighty names!
