Cheers, and Hi to all the old peeps!
As everyone else has said, all of these apply, as well as all the 99 names that were mentioned in the thread above.
However, as to which name/attribute is foremost, Allahu 'Alim [God knows best], -but there are some clues in the Qu'ran and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad [saas]. For example, In the Qu'ran, the two names Allah [swt] uses to refer to Himself the most is
ArRahman, meaning the Compassionate, and
ArRaheem meaning the Merciful. And The Prophet Muhammad [saas] said that on the throne of Allah is inscribed:
Verily My Mercy overtakes My Wrath. -This shows that perhaps it is the attributes of Mercy and Compassion which Allah [swt] values most, and are most ingrained into what He is. But Allahu 'Alim.

i think if you be really really good, like then Allah (Swt) can be close to you, like the hadiths in muslim..
Whoever comes with a good deed, his reward will be ten times like it or more. And whoever comes with a bad deed, his recompense will be only one like it, or I shall forgive him. And whoever draws close to Me a hand's span, I shall draw close to him an arm's length. And whoever draws close to Me an arm's length, I shall draw close to him a fathom's length. And whoever comes to Me walking, I shall go to him running. And whoever faces Me with sins as great as the earth, but without worshipping anything along with or instead of Me, I shall meet him with forgiveness as great as that.
subhanallah :( may Allah (swt) be close to all of us like this
like you can have best friends, but can you have a friend who is always there for you, he knows what you thinkin from inside? he can give you WHATEVER you want!! no friend can do that... only Allah (swt)
so like you should think of him as not a friend, but Allah (Swt) and think of him through his 99 names,
i wish i was good enough to be his friend innaay:(!! like Ibrahim (As) was called khalil Allah (Swt) so he does have "friends" but you just gota be really kool and good!!!
