المَنَّانُ

Al-Mannaan - He is the One who graciously gives favours and gifts even before He is asked. He is the One who shows kindness to His creation by bestowing His blessings upon them and providing them with everything they need. He also bestows His kindness on the righteous believers by guiding them, assisting them and granting them true faith.

Occurrence: This name is not mentioned in the Holy Qur’an but rather in the Prophet’s Sunnah.

Evidence: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “O Allah! I ask You by virtue of the fact that all praise is due to You; none has the right to be worshiped but You, the Bestower…” (Reported by At-Tirmidhee; Abu Daawood. Sheikh Al-Albaanee classified it as authentic ‘saheeh’)
