One who <strong>the</strong> count <strong>of</strong> things are known <strong>to</strong> him.<br />

YA MUHSI: O Reckoner! If those who fear <strong>the</strong> Final Reckoning invoke this Name 1,000 times, it will<br />

become easier for <strong>the</strong>m <strong>to</strong> render account.The recital <strong>of</strong> this name 20 times daily <strong>and</strong> blowing on<br />

twenty pieces <strong>of</strong> bread <strong>and</strong> conuming it, will cause <strong>Allah</strong> <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong> entire creation subservient <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> reciter Insha-<strong>Allah</strong>. Any person who writes this name on 20 pieces <strong>of</strong> a roti <strong>and</strong> eats it everyday<br />

all <strong>the</strong> nation will come <strong>to</strong> learn from him.<br />

The One who knows <strong>the</strong> details <strong>of</strong> each <strong>and</strong> every thing. The One who possesses all quantitative<br />

YA MUBDI'U: O Origina<strong>to</strong>r! If this Name is invoked over a woman who is threatening <strong>to</strong> miscarry, she<br />

will be spared <strong>the</strong> dangers <strong>of</strong> pregnancy. Anyone who, while placing his h<strong>and</strong> on <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>mach <strong>of</strong> his<br />
