Pathways from Relative to the Absolute: Ninety Nine Names of Allah in Holy Qur'an

We grow up with our culture specific idea of God. Religions of the world use multiple names in their scriptures to refer to the God of our faith providing us a pathway from our Relative to the Universal God (Absolute). Relatives are many but the Absolute is One. 

Contemplation of such meaningful names creates a mental dispensation to God's mystery, universality and inclusion helping us see the Absolute in the Relative. Humanity being relational, in our minds, our specific view of God links our faith community as a family while the wider holistic view connects us with the entirety of existence making for a global family. 

Our particular view may limit us to the love of our own community only while the wider holistic vision opens us to the love of humanity and nature in which we live. Once we grow to love the One God of the universe, we begin to love the whole of existence. We also begin to love our specific God and the Gods of all communities as divine emanations of the Universal Parent.
