Asma أسماء
Names (al-asma al-husna, the divine Names; the operative middle term between dhat and creation)
Asma (أسماء) — Capitalize “Names” when al-asma al-husna or the divine Names are the referent. The Names are the locus of theophany in Ibn Arabi’s cosmology; rendering them as “epithets” flattens the metaphysical weight.
