Al Asma Ul Husna (أسماء الله الحسنى) represents Names and Attributes of Almighty Allah (SWT). These attributes are found in the Quran and each name reflects its own benefits.
These attributes are often repeated in the Quran and we can read that the Allah (SWT) is the most kind, the most merciful, the most wise, the knower of everything, the see-er of all that you do, free from all wants, worthy of all praise.
In the Quran, Allah introduces Himself through these names, laying a foundation for love and understanding.
هُوَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُ ٱلْبَارِئُ ٱلْمُصَوِّرُ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ ۚ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He ˹alone˺ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise. (59:24)
The believers(Momins) should call upon Allah (SWT) with his beautiful Names and attributes so you feel closer to Allah SWT and then make dua and dhikr.
وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْأَسْمَآءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا ۖ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يُلْحِدُونَ فِىٓ أَسْمَـٰٓئِهِۦ ۚ سَيُجْزَوْنَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
Allah has the Most Beautiful Names. So call upon Him by them, and keep away from those who abuse His Names. They will be punished for what they used to do. (7:180)
