Is the name "Al-Rasheed" among the Beautiful Names of Allah, and does what is mentioned in Al-Shawkani's book "Tuhfat Al-Dhakireen" contradict that?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Al-Rasheed" is not one of the names of Allah Almighty, because it has not been mentioned in the Quran or in authentic . The names of Allah are tawqifiyyah (restrictive), so He is only to be called by what He has named Himself or what His Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, has named Him.
