"Allah's are the names most beautiful. Whatever is in the heavens and earth extols His glory."—The Qur'an (Al-Hashr 59:24) "Allah has 99 names. He who remembers these will certainly enter Paradise."—Prophet Muhammad (Bukharhi Hadith Kitab Ad-Dawat, 2,949) Remembering the Names of Allah is a sacred tradition in Islam. Both the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet (Hadiths) state the importance of learning them and promise reward for reciting them in supplications and prayers. This beautiful presentation of Allah's most revered nintety-nine names draws the reader nearer to the Divine through contemplation and reflection of Allah's names, their meaning, and how each impacts our daily lives. They help to conceptualize Allah, Whose limitless greatness and glory is impossible to grasp. Each name is presented in the original Arabic and its translation into English. Accompanying each name is a commentary that is concise and easy to understand but rich in meaning.

Der Sammelband ist eine Gedenkschrift fur den Semitisten Alexander Sima, der im Jahr 2004 wahrend linguistischer Feldforschungen im Jemen verungluckt ist. Der Band enthalt fast dreissig Beitrage, deren uberwiegende Zahl philologische, archaologische oder historische Themen in der Region Naher Osten/Sudarabien zum Thema haben. Zeitlich gesehen reichen die in diesem Gedenkband versammelten Artikel von den Epochen des Alten Orients bis zur Gegenwart. Die Beitrage versammeln insbesondere ein weites Spektrum an philologischen Studien zu Sprachen wie Akkadisch, Aramaisch, klassisches und dialektales Arabisch sowie Alt- und Neusudarabisch. Das Buch reflektiert den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu den oben genannten Themenkreisen und ist eine der wenigen aktuellen Sammelschriften zu diesen Fachgebieten.
