The divine names

الأسماء الإلهية

Editorial review pending

The divine names shape prayer, interpretation, and relations between divine attributes and the world. Their function cannot be reduced to a fixed vocabulary list detached from a passage’s speaker and setting.

Distinctions and context

Names, attributes, relational functions, and loci of manifestation are not interchangeable. A commentator may systematize them more aggressively than the source itself.

Research question

Is the divine name invoked in a devotional, epistemic, or cosmological claim?
