FAQs
About Isme Azam – Allah’s names
Question No 1. What is Isme Azam and how it is extracted?
Answer: An IsmeAzam is generally a set of Almighty Allah’s two or three names. At times, it may comprise only one sacred name. It is extracted by carefully counting values of various HARUF (letters) in an individual’s name. After getting ‘Total’ , we consider the Almighty Allah’s 99 beautiful names and try to select those sacred names which make a numerical sum equal to the Total of the individual’s name. Besides that, it is ensured that at least one of the selected names is compatible with the SURNAME (first letter of the individual’s name). This set of Allah’s names is called Isme-Azam.
Question No 2. Do we have to read “Ya” with every name while reciting Isme Azam? Can we add “AL” in the beginning? Tell in brief, how we should recite Isme Azam.
Answer: Allah’s names (in an Isme Azam) are to be read along with the word “Ya”, as “Ya Rahman” or “Ya Raheem”. It is not necessary to add “AL” in the beginning or “O” at the end.
Let us take an example. Recommended Isme Azam (for brother Adeel) is Aziz-Majid-Malik. He will recite it as “Ya Azeezo –Ya Maajido –Ya Maalik” in one go (with a slight imperceptible pause in-between first and second, second and third name). This will be counted as one (Aik bar). To complete his count of “25” after every prayer, he will have to repeat this set of Allah’s names seven times with attention and respect. It is essential that while reciting, one should keep his/ her mind focused on the MAQSAD or purpose, firmly expecting Almighty Allah to accept their prayers.
Question No 3. What is “Total”? Has it some special significance?
Answer: Total number is to be recited at least once, ideally on the very first day. But, it is not essential that the total should be completed in one sitting. As far its significance, Isme Azam is selected on the basis of this number. We have selected the Almighty Allah’s names Azeez-Majid-Malik because sum of all Haruf in this set equals Total of Adeel Hasan’s name that was 232.
Question No 4. What is TABA? Why is it important that both Individual’s name and Isme Azam should be compatible?
Answer: TABA (nature) of Haruf is important because similar natures help while opposite natures resist or oppose each other.
You might have noted in the foresaid example that first letter of both Adeel and his Isme Azam begins with “A” actually (AIN) in Urdu alphabet. As a matter of fact, while extracting Isme Azam for Adeel Hasan, there were many sets of (Allah’s names) before us that matched the total but the foresaid set was selected in view of its compatibility (of TABA), the most crucial aspect for an Isme Azam to be effective. You may realize that selecting an Isme Azam keeping in mind the compatibility, is quite a difficult task.
Question No 5. Is pronunciation important while reciting Allah’s names?
Answer: Of course we have to pay special attention to pronunciation. Names mentioned in above example will be recited as: Azeez (not Aziz), Maajid (not Majeed), Maalik (not Malak). Brothers/ sisters are requested to be very clear about pronunciation. Correct pronunciation adds to efficacy of Isme Azam.
Question No 6. If unfortunately some one misses his prayer, can he recite his Isme Azam?
Answer: Yes, of course. But, as a matter of fact, maximum benefits are received by those who are regular in prayers. Besides, Allah’s names can be recited in any part of the day or night.
Question No 7. What is the benefit of reciting Isme Azam?
Answer: Almighty Allah Himself has asked His slaves (human beings) to seek His mercy through His beautiful names. (Quran, Aaraf-180).
As received through various established Ahadis also, Huzoor (S.A.W.W) has recommended to beg favours of Almighty Allah through His beautiful names.

Thank you.
I am reading the total nunber 1196 over a period of two days. Is that ok?
Jazak Allah khayr.

Salam. Iram Arif.
U suggested Ism e Azam Ya Allah Ya Moez Ya Tawab, 592 times once then 34 times after every prayer.
Question is: This 592 number can ever be recited again? If YES, than When? Sholud I stop reciting in SPECIFIC DAYS or can continue at every Prayer time meanwhile? Also in regular routine, if i miss any Prayer, can i recite THAT 34 times any time of day?? pllllzzz Do anwer my thses queris, for me thses are very important to knw….Thanks.
Sister, subject queries have been responded in my last response. you can recite the total (592) even after every prayer if convenient to you. One can continue recitation when one can not say prayers even.
Brother my only query is, can i recite total 592 ONCE DAILY??? With or without 34 times after every prayer?
Yes Sister, that would be fine
Jazak Allah Brother.
Salam Brother.
Kindly tell me how much to recite after completing 40 days of a total of 592 ONCE daily…?
Sister, you can continue 16 or 34 times after every prayer. May allah Kareem be kind and bless you always.
.and what if i want to recite my ism-e-azam in SINGLE sitting.
also tell, if i miss one of five prayers, how to cmplete circle of missed quantity of Ism-e-Azam.
I do Business, want to flouriish it. Means my problems are, FINANCE, Marraige and dullness/sickness.

First Day 592 times, Later, daily after every prayer 34 times
-Darood Ibrahimi at least once before and after

-Plz say your prayers regularly.
Ismeazam are extracted according to some laid down rules. As such, full names, given on birth or adopted after marriage are used for this purpose.
Sister, I shall try to reply to your various queries.This information is already available on this site, in one form or other. Names are recited as written; one after another, with a slight pause in between. I recommend reciting without “O” for concentration.
Ultimate aim is to become a practicing Muslim. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix. To seek Allah Kareem’s blessing, one has to say his/ her PRAYERS regularly and follow other islamic injuctions as well.
It makes no difference if one misses any prayer inadvertently. One should recite Ismeazam when ever possible. Small number, is for convenience of continuation. One can recite in higher number or equal to the total, even after every prayer, if comfortably possible.

jazak Allah
are we supposed to recite all of them together or separately..?
and also iff we recite them together will it be ‘ya azeem-o ya ya moez-o ya whaab-o’??
and iff separately.. ‘ya azeemo’
‘ya moez-o’
‘ya whaab-o’.. or not..?
Sister, recite the asmaepak as written; together and without adding “O”.
Ism e Azam. Please
Brother, Ismeazam already sent thru sms.
assalamu alekum
it is necessary to add the name ‘ya allah’ at the end of isme azam????
You can have one without that Ismeapak. But, with Ya Allah’ at the end, that Ismeazam is considered more effective.
Aoa. why are these names recited e.g 20 times or 1000 times? why is a limit assigned to the times any name or combination of names must be recited. e.g if i want to be naik i can recite Ya Hameed/ Ya Hameed-o as many times as i can whenever i can. What is your opinion in this regard.
JazakAllah
Sister you are right, one can recite any relevant name of Allah Kareem to acquire a particular “Sift” without fixing any number. But, we believe that great scholars, who recommended reciting Allah’s names equal to one’s total adaad in name, knew this fact very well. Despite that, they recommended reciting one’s Ismeazam, asserting it is more effective and proficient.
Remember, it is quite a difficult process. It can consume your hours after hours rather many days together to extract a compatible Ismeazam. AlHamdulillah, we make it look so simple for our brothers/ sisters.
Plz do recite your Ismeazam with regularity in prayers and total faith in Almighty Allah.
JazakAllah for your reply brother. I would really appreciate it if you can tell me the names of any great scholars who have recommended this practice. It would be a great learning opportunity for me as i want to explore this topic more. Allah (SWT) knows best.
Sister, the procedure we are following is stated to be taught/ derived by Hazrat Imam Jafar Saadiq (radi Allahu anhu).
