A guest lecture by Yousef Casewit.

There is no way to know God except through knowing His names and attributes. But what exactly is a divine name? How is it possible to name God? What do God’s names really tell us about the divine Essence?

The divine names tradition constitutes a distinct and early sub-genre of writings within the fold of Muslim theology, philosophy, and mysticism that continues to attract the attention of Muslim scholars up to the present day.
