 The Noblest Pursuit.  Acquiring Knowledge of Allah ﷻ is the noblest of all pursuit. 

═══════ ⋆★⋆ ═══════

Knowledge of Allah and His Names and Attributes is the noblest and best of all knowledge, because the level of honour of any kind of knowledge has to do with the object of knowledge, and the object of knowledge in this case is Allah, may He ﷻ be glorified and exalted, through His ﷻ Names, Attributes and Deeds. Occupying oneself with seeking this knowledge and studying it properly is the pursuit of the highest objective, and acquiring this knowledge is one of the best gifts a person may be given. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) explained it very clearly and was very keen to do so, the Sahaabah never disputed in this matter as they did over some of the rulings (ahkaam).

Increase in faith. Knowledge of  99 names of Allah ﷻ increases faith in Him.

═══════ ⋆★⋆ ═══════

When a person occupies himself with learning about Allah, he is doing what he was created for, but if he ignores the matter, he is neglecting what he was created for.

The meaning of faith is not merely to utter words without knowing Allah, because true faith in Allah means that the slave knows the Lord in Whom he believes, and he makes the effort to learn about Allah through His Names and Attributes. 

 

The more he learns about his Lord, the more he increases in faith.

Knowledge of 99 names of Allah is source of all knowledge.

Knowledge of the Names of Allah is the basis for all other knowledge, as Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

Knowledge of the Most Beautiful Names of Allah is the basis of all other kinds of knowledge, for the objects of all these other branches of knowledge were either created or commanded by Allah ﷻ

Explanation:  (the various branches of knowledge either deal with objects created by Allah ﷻ or with the laws and guidance revealed by Him). 

The reason for creation and guidance is found in His Most Beautiful Names (because Allah ﷻ is the Creator, He creates things; because He is the Guide to the Straight Path, He reveals guidance, and so on) 

Knowing the Most Beautiful Names is the basis of all objects of knowledge, because all knowledge stems from these Names

(Badai' al-Fawaaid by Ibn al-Qayyim, 1/163).

Why who memorises 99 names of Allah ﷻ would enter Jannah

Why one who memorizes 99 names of Allah would enter Jannah? Part... 1

Praise be to Allah.

ﺑِﺴْـــــــــــــﻢِﷲِالرَّحْمٰنِﺍلرَّﺣِﻴﻢ

Al-Bukhaari (2736) and Muslim (2677) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah has ninety-nine names, one hundred less one. Whoever learns them by heart will enter Paradise.” 

“Learning by heart”, which is mentioned in the hadeeth, implies the following: 

1.Memorising them

2.Understanding their meaning

3.Acting in accordance with the meanings. So if a person knows that He is One, he does not associate anything else with Him. If he knows that He is the Provider (ar-Razzaaq), he does not seek provision from anyone other than Him. If he knows that He is Most Merciful (ar-Raheem), then he does acts of obedience and worship that are the means of attaining this mercy… and so on.

4.Calling upon Him by these names, as He, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them’ [al-A‘raaf 7:180]. So he might say: O Most Merciful (Ya Rahmaan), have mercy on me; O Oft-forgiving (Ya Ghafoor), forgive me; O Accepter of repentance (Ya Tawwaab), accept my repentance, and so on.

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen said: Learning them by heart does not mean writing them down on a piece of paper then repeating them until one has memorised them. Rather what it means is:

Firstly: learning how to pronounce the names

Secondly: understanding their meanings.

Thirdly: worshipping Allah in accordance with what they signify, which involves two things:

(i)Calling upon Allah by them, because He, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “… so call on Him by them” [al-A‘raaf 7:180], to that they may become a means of attaining what you seek, so choose a name that is appropriate to what you seek. When asking for forgiveness, say: O Oft-forgiving (Ya Ghafoor), forgive me. It is not appropriate to say: O You Who are stern in punishment (Ya Shadeed al-‘Iqaab), forgive me; rather that is more akin to mockery. What you should say (if you call upon Allah by this name) is: Save me from Your punishment.

(ii)In your acts of worship you should do is what is implied by these names. What is implied by the name ar-Raheem (Most Merciful) is mercy, so do righteous deeds that will bring the mercy of Allah. This is what is meant by learning them by heart; if it is done like this, then it deserves to be the price of admission to Paradise. End quote.

Three types of Tauheed

Knowing Allah by His Most Beautiful Names increases ones faith, as Shaykh Abd al-Rahmaan ibn Sadi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Believing in and knowing the Most Beautiful Names of Allah includes the three types of Tawheed: 

1.Tawheed al Ruboobiyyah (Unity of Divine Lordship),

  2.Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah (Unity of the Divine Nature) and 

3.Tawheed al-Asma wal-Sifaat (Unity of the Divine Names and Attributes).

These three types of Tawheed form the essence and joy of faith (the word translated here as joy implies peace and relief from stress), and this knowledge is the basis and purpose of faith. 

The more a person learns about the Names and Attributes of Allah, the more his faith increases and the stronger his conviction becomes.
