Are "Dhu al-Jalal wal-Ikram," "al-Burhan," and "al-Jami'" among the Beautiful Names of Allah?
Allah Almighty is "Possessor of Majesty and Honor" (Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram), as stated in the Quran and . The Prophet encouraged insistent supplication using this name, and some scholars have included it among Allah's Most Beautiful Names, it being a name of great significance.
As for "Al-Burhan" (The Proof), it has not been mentioned in the Quran or Sunnah as a name for Allah Almighty. Exegetes have not included it among the Beautiful Names; rather, it appeared as a description of Allah's Book, meaning the clear argument.
"Al-Jami'" (The Gatherer) appeared in the Holy Quran in an annexed form: "Allah will gather mankind for a Day about which there is no doubt." Some scholars have mentioned it among Allah's Names, while others believe it is an annexed name and not a singular name.
In summary, "Possessor of Majesty and Honor" is among Allah's names, unlike "Al-Burhan" and "Al-Jami'".
