The answer

Among the most important reasons for strengthening faith is knowing Allah's beautiful names and attributes, such as "Al-Malik" (the Sovereign), Who manages the affairs of the universe; "Al-Hakeem" (the Wise), Who places things in their rightful places; "Al-Qayyum" (the Sustainer), Who exists by Himself and sustains others; "As-Samad" (the Eternal, the Absolute), Who is sought for all needs; "Al-Qadir" (the Able), Who possesses complete power; "Az-Zahir" (the Manifest), Who is above all things; "Al-Muqsit" (the Just), the Equitable; "Al-Wakil" (the Disposer of Affairs), Who takes care of the interests of His servants; and "At-Tawwab" (the Acceptor of Repentance), Who accepts repentance. It is important to note that "Al-Ba'ith" (the Resurrector) and "Al-Muqsit" (the Equitable) are not among the established beautiful names of Allah.
