Abstract

This research aims to derive the Quranic pieces of spiritual guidance from the Almighty’s words: "And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do."

The topic of the study is the Quranic pieces of spiritual guidance contained in the Almighty's words: "And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against) His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do." (Al-A'arâf:180)

 Objectives of the research:

-   to clarify the general meaning of the noble verse in question.

-   to extract from it pieces of spiritual guidance and highlight the ways in which they can be achieved to improve the reality of the Muslim community.

 Main findings:

1. Deriving Quranic pieces of spiritual guidance is of paramount importance and wide-ranging. The Noble Quran guides the Muslim community at all times and everywhere to the right path in all aspects of life.
2. It is advisable to supplicate Allâh, Glory be to Him, with His Most Beautiful Names.
3. It is essential to learn about the Most Beautiful Names of Allâh and His Supreme Attributes as established in the Noble Quran and the authentic Sunnah so that people can find out about the Greatness of their Lord and strive to have firm faith in Him and draw closer to Him through good deeds.
4. We must beware of denying or impugning the Names and Supreme Attributes of Allâh in any of the ways clarified by Muslim scholars.
5. We must beware of being extravagant with denying or proving the divine Attributes without reliable proof.

The two researchers recommend setting aside Quranic researches for social problems and publishing them in refereed journals. They also recommend that objective studies should be conducted on each of the Most Beautiful Names of Allâh and that Quranic pieces of spiritual guidance should be derived from the verses which embodies these Names.
