Islam has only one God, Allah.

But God has 100 names, one secret which is to be revealed in paradise.

To recite the 99 names of Allah is a core practice of some sufi sects.

In a note to column V of 777 Crowley lists these names, with the observation: "That these following are only titles of the One Ineffable Name is shown by Koran xvii. 110. But monotheism is not true for the normal consciousness, but only for that of the adept."

Koran xvii.110.: Say: "Call upon God, or call upon Rahman: by whatever name ye call upon Him, (it is well): for to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Neither speak thy Prayer aloud, nor speak it in a low tone, but seek a middle course between."

Especially the name Al Mumeetu can be of a particular importance for mystics, being the "Death giver", the destroyer of the Ego.

Crowley remarked that the formula of Mohammed (AL LA, one god) really was LA AL (no god), and he considered Mohammed to be a 9=2 of A.'.A.'. (In Liber Aleph and The Heart of the Master).
