Thank you so very much.
I have one other question please. If someone was making something with the 99 names should one go with this list as read below from this link>>
**********************************************************

NOTE:
I found many different versions of the 99 names. The above 99 are on a poster I have. Another list includes Al-Mu'tiy - The Bestower, The Giver and does not have Al-Ahad - The One. Another list did not have Al-Razzaaq -The Sustainer, The Provider but did have Al-Maajid The Noble, The One who is Majid.
Allah (subhanahu wa ta`ala)'s names are not limited to 99, which is a common misconception. There are a couple of evidences, one is the du`aa where one calls upon Allah by the names He (subhanahu wa ta`ala) has kept to Himself (obviously not taking these names since Allah has not revealed them to us); another is the fact that in the narrations of the famous ninety nine names hadith that do contain 99 names, the names are not consistent between narrations (for example, imam al-bayhaqi reports two versions of this hadith, with different 99 names in each). It is suggested by one commentator that the names were not explicitly stated by the rasul (sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam).
*******************************************************

Would one go with this list or research further to see if one is different?
As the site mentioned 2 different variations.

Azizah  I have read the  site  and the names are  correct.these names  are  the  attributes  of ALLAH  . It  is  for  his  mercy to  us  ( his creatures to ease  us   things  .that any  thing we  do  or  done  is  holding atleast   one  of these  names  .and hence  reminds  us   him .and  this  is  considered  as  a dua..and  duaa  is  a  kind  of  prayer. for  example  the name  RAZZAK  .this  name  helps  the  riches  not  to  brag  at  their wealth and the  poor  to  stay  pateint  and  not  to  hate  the  riches  and  similary  all  the  names are lessons and examples .for  our  daily  life

salaam / peace

here's a thread dedicated to the names of Allah:

http://www.jannah.org/cgi-bin/madina/YaBB.pl?board=library;action=display;num=1040650425

there are some variances in the lists of the ninety nine names because there is no authentic text that lists them.. so the lists are derived from the Qur'an and from some weaker hadeeth, etc.

wasalaam
