I found this on the Internet and thought it was beautiful and insightful. I am an Athiest, but that does not mean I cannot appreciate this. I hope you can too! Example: Al-Basīr means The All Seeing.

	Can you accept "The Omniscient" for the "The All Aware"? Also you have two "The"s together on Al-Mājid.

	Great idea for a quiz.

	MrChewypoo:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 16:46 GMT		4 points
	Thanks rockgolf. I guess that's why they call you an editor! Al-'Alīm is all knowing (and I accept Omniscient for that one). All Aware... I'm not sure. Some of these overlap in concept a little. Probably some translation loss. Talk about failure to launch, though. :( Is it ironic that the Religion category is somewhat of a Sporcle cemetery? I didn't create this one for play counts, though. I just really enjoyed reading the definitions and thought I would share with the world. Hope people aren't going to set their computers on fire this weekend...

	@Sinatra: Since Allah is simply another name for the same God as the God of Abraham and the God of Jesus, probably not. Do you think the same God approved the Spanish Inquisition, burning witches or the Holocaust?

	@SpaceTourism: Of all the dumb anti-Islamic comments I've read, this is one of the dumbest, and it's not even original. Did you know that there are at least 100 names for Jesus in The Bible and (shock and horror) none of them is love either! Want to see the list? http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/jesustitles2.htm

	MrChewypoo:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 19:33 GMT		6 points
	I was going to stay out of it, but... ... Oh, I think I'll stay out of it. Ok, but just for the record Al-Wadūd = "The Loving" if SpaceTourism had bothered to even try and open his mind and play the quiz.

	MrChewypoo:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 19:34 GMT		4 points
	Interesting that there are more comments and ratings than people who have played the quiz. I think that says something, but I'm not quite sure what. Thanks for the Editor's Pick!

	caramba:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 21:15 GMT		2 points
	@MrChewypoo: You're welcome! I'm one of those who hasn't played, but I apprecaite the interesting topic!

	AdamBishop:	Sep 8th, 2010 at 06:15 GMT		3 points
	Since this is such fine work I almost hate to mention it, but I already created this game, twice, one for the English (http://www.sporcle.com/games/AdamBishop/99namesEng) and one for the Arabic (http://www.sporcle.com/games/AdamBishop/99Names). Ah well.

	Bulletchewer6:	Sep 8th, 2010 at 09:51 GMT		-2 points
	Yes, Mr Bishop, you definitely got there first! Shame on the editors for overlooking it, but they probably didn't notice your quiz when it was published, perhaps because nobody was planning to burn Korans that weekend?

	MrChewypoo:	Sep 8th, 2010 at 12:54 GMT		2 points
	Whenever I do a quiz, the song "It's all been done before" spins through my head. I did search for similar quizzes... you can try and search for "Allah" or "99" and nothing comes up. Great minds think alike, I suppose! And ours did too. If it's any consolation, yours still has more plays than mine does! I hope you can be like Al-Ghaffār and Ar-Rahmān, as I will be like Al-Hamīd, suffering under Al-Mu'dhell.

	Then, good sir, according to your beliefs they are all going to suffer and burn eternally in Hell and the obviously deserving meek, such as yourself, shall inherit the Earth and reign in eternal peace. So move along and let life unfold while you are still here. It's all going according to the Grand Plan, no? Why mess with it?

	AdamBishop:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 00:03 GMT		4 points
	Remember guys, the last thing anyone want is the quiz comments being taken up by a pointless debate about religion. Really, could there anywhere on the internet more useless for such a debate than Sporcle comments? And if Chewypoo and I are both atheists then obviously we are not trying to promote Islam. I've made quizzes about Catholic and Anglican stuff too. It's just trivia, not a forum for preaching. Anyway, I guess as long as one of our quizzes gets published eventually, Sporcle will be the better for it, insha'allah!

	Josh:	Sep 9th, 2010 at 21:33 GMT		3 points
	Whoa, that was difficult, but a great idea for a quiz indeed!

	sportsguyluke:	Sep 10th, 2010 at 20:06 GMT		3 points
	I enjoy this topic but did not try it because I know I would only get one, maybe two. However, I started and typed "The" and got Al-Muqtadir, Al-'Ahid, and Al-Aliyy.

	This Allah fella totally needs to delegate.

	sbak87:	Nov 24th, 2010 at 21:47 GMT		3 points
	Space Tourism, The Qur'an does not carry a different message than the original form of the Gospel. We all know Paul changed the religion of Christianity, it's no longer the religion of God. But if you look in the Old Testament, you will find a message similar to that of the Qur'an: worship One God alone without an intermediary. Same God, same message .

	For all you Christians, calling Allah "a false god" or "moon god".. pick up an Arabic New Testament.. the word used there is Allah. The moon god in Pre-Islamic times was known as HUBAL. Damn ignorant people!

	faraznaeem:	Dec 11th, 2010 at 08:54 GMT		3 points
	Anyways, great quiz. Particularly insightful for people who get their religious education from Fox News.

	Raynard:	Dec 14th, 2010 at 00:33 GMT		2 points
	It is hard to tell you are atheist after this quiz. If you wanted to, you could probably pass as a Muslim yourself. I am very respectful Atheism and Islam just so you dont get the wrong idea.

	mrsfayyad:	Apr 17th, 2011 at 03:06 GMT		3 points
	masha'allah! i know its rather old at this point, but i'm so happy to see something accurate and educational about islam! as a muslim, thank you for making this!

	Mudkip:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 21:43 GMT		-1 points
	Darn, I couldn't get any. I tried succulent, scrumptious, sexy, mouthwatering, beautiful, and bootylicious, but nothing seems to work. sigh Perhaps I spelled something wrong?

	iakoiatasteris:	Jul 11th, 2011 at 19:09 GMT		3 points
	It's when you do a quiz like this that you realise what a beautiful religion Islam is. They take care of the poor and the elderly, and all the names of Allah are good features for a perfect being. It's only a small fraction of Islam that are extremists, and when you think of them, please also think of the Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and so many more. It is only stupid people who don't open their eyes and see who the enemy really is.

	And by the way, I am not religious.
