99 Names of Allah Wall Art: How to Choose a Name for Your Home
The 99 Names of Allah, the Asma ul Husna, describe His attributes: mercy, peace, generosity, protection. Many Muslims keep one in the home as a quiet, daily reminder. This short guide helps you choose a Name for your own wall, or for a gift.
What are the Asma ul Husna?
“Asma ul Husna” means “the most beautiful Names”. Each of the 99 points to a different quality, and many people reflect on them in prayer and in everyday life. Written as calligraphy, a Name becomes both a work of art and a gentle presence in a room, which is why 99 Names of Allah wall art is one of the most-loved styles of Islamic home decor.

How to choose a Name
- By meaning. Choose the quality that speaks to you now: peace, gratitude, hope or protection.
- By room. As-Salam is often chosen for a bedroom, Ar-Razzaq for a kitchen or dining room, Al-Hafiz for an entrance and Ar-Rahman for a living room.
- By moment. Al-Fattah suits a new home or a new beginning. Al-Wadud and Al-Karim are popular for weddings.
These are ideas, not rules. The right Name is the one that matters to you, or to the person you are choosing it for.
With a Name, or without
Not every piece has to carry a Name. Some people want the Name of Allah as the centre of the piece. Others prefer an abstract or architectural work, and keep the Names for one special room. Our collections offer both, so you can choose the balance that suits your home.
