Names of God
The divine names used across sacred traditions — each name a window into how humanity has understood the transcendent.
Christianity
The God of the Bible is addressed by many names, each revealing a different aspect of His character and relationship with humanity.
I Am Who I Am — the self-existent, eternal God revealed to Moses
God in fullness and majesty — the Creator of heaven and earth
God Almighty — the all-sufficient, all-powerful provider
Lord and Master — sovereign ruler over all creation
The Lord — the covenant-keeping God who is faithful to His promises
Islam
Allah has 99 Beautiful Names (al-Asma al-Husna), each describing an attribute of the one God. Here are a few of the most significant.
The God — the one and only deity, encompassing all divine attributes
The Most Gracious — boundless mercy that encompasses all creation
The King — the sovereign ruler and owner of all that exists
The Most Holy — pure, perfect, and free from all imperfection
Hinduism
Hinduism perceives the divine as both one and many — a single ultimate reality (Brahman) manifesting through countless forms and names.
The ultimate, formless reality — the infinite ground of all being
The Preserver — sustainer of cosmic order who incarnates to restore dharma
The Transformer — destroyer of ignorance and lord of meditation
The All-Attractive — avatar of Vishnu, speaker of the Bhagavad Gita
Buddhism
Buddhism does not center on a creator god. Instead, it focuses on the nature of mind and reality. The Buddha is not worshipped as a deity but revered as a teacher who awakened to the truth of existence. Some Mahayana traditions honor celestial Bodhisattvas and Buddha-figures, but these represent qualities of enlightenment rather than creator gods.
