Asma Al Husna - Free iPhone App

This is my first iPhone App released for free.

This app contains a list of 99 Beautiful Names of Allah, their meanings and special benefits that can be obtained, Inshallah, by the reciter.

Each Name is a Unique Attribute of Allah. The list of Names, meanings and benefits were found in various sites throughout the web so I consider these to be public domain. (if it infringes any copyrights, please let me know)

The free beautiful image used for the app icon was created by Enzuru  and can be  found@ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Allah-eser-green.png

The tab bar icons were created by Joseph Wain @ glyphish.com

Download the app and check it out.
