It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"Allah has ninety-nine Names, i.e., one hundred minus one, and whoever believes in their meanings and acts accordingly, will enter Paradise; and Allah is witr (one) and loves 'the witr' (i.e., odd numbers)."

This Hadith identifies a specific set of 99 attributes to study and apply to your life. Success is described here as a two-step process: first, learning the data (the names and their meanings), and second, using that data to guide your behavior. The specific count of 99 (100−1) reflects a preference for "Witr," or odd numbers, which signifies the Oneness of the Creator.
