Attributes of God from Quran

[7:180] To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and disregard those who distort His names. They will be requited for their sins.

We are informed in Quran that to GOD belongs the most beautiful names (7:180; 16:60; 17:110; 20:8; 30:27; 59:24). This article is a compilation of some of God's attributes from the Quran (it is not exhaustive; it is based largely on the following compilation: Attributes of God / Knowing God). These may be useful in meditation or dhikr (commemoration of God). Knowing God's qualities, such as the fact that God controls everything (8:17) also helps us know and appreciate God and remember Him frequently (3:191; 4:103; 7:205; 30:17-18; 33:41-42; …).

Note: some attributes (e.g., "Most Gracious, Most Merciful") occur in pairs (and may be shown both individually and in pairs).
