One Tradition of Islam holds that
Allah possesses three thousand
names. One thousand are known
only to the angels, one thousand are
known only to the prophets, three
hundred are found in the Jewish
Torah, three hundred are found in
the Psalms of David, three hundred
are found in the Christian New
Testament, and ninety-nine are
found in the Muslim Qur'an.
The final name, the Ism Allah
al-a'zam, or the Greatest Name
of Allah, is known to Allah alone.
