73. Al-Awwal اَلأَوَّل
THE FIRST
Allah is the first. There is none like Him. His firstness means that there is none prior to Him, that He is self-existent, that all comes from Him and that He is the cause of all that became.
Anyone desirous of male children should say this Ism 40 times daily for 40 days. His need will soon be fulfilled – Insha-Allah. And if any wayfarer (musafir) says it 1,000 times on a Friday, he will soon return to his people safe and sound – Insha-Allah.
