— Firstly, knowing Allah Almighty is the basis of everything and believing in Him Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala is the first Pillar of Iman (belief), it is actually the greatest Pillar of Iman, and Iman in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala should not be just a saying by the tongue without really knowing His names and attributes.
— Secondly, the truth of Imaan actually is that the servant knows His Names which he believes in, and that he tries his best to learning His names, His attributes, His gifts and provisions until he reaches the level of Ihssan.
— Thirdly, Allaah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, The Creator, created us so as to know Him and worship Him alone. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” Surat Adh dhariyat 56. Therefore, it is so important to know Allah to worship Allah, because without knowing Allah, you cannot worship Him Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala.
— Fourthly, Knowing Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala leads to loving Him Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, glorifying Him, fearing His punishment, hoping for His Mercy, being sincere to Him in all actions and sayings. And that is the true happiness of the servant.
—Fifthly, there is no pleasure in this life that is similar to that in Paradise except for the pleasure of Iman in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, knowing His names and His attributes. Moreover, there is no pure happiness or ultimate pleasure except in loving Allah.
