Allah has another 99 names. One of it is (Al Mumin)-The Believer Worship (large)
Wherein both will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them (Quran  55:56, Mushin)

RE: The name of God thread.
I was thinking of going into the miracle of Quran verses, and how to investigate, but really, there is so much on the internet on it. So I will skip a few verses and get to this one:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا مَا بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا ۚ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۘ يُضِلُّ بِهِ كَثِيرًا وَيَهْدِي بِهِ كَثِيرًا ۚ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِ إِلَّا الْفَاسِقِينَ {26}

[Shakir 2:26] Surely Allah is not ashamed to set forth any parable-- (that of) a gnat or any thing above that; then as for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who disbelieve, they say: What is it that Allah means by this parable: He causes many to err by it and many He leads aright by it! but He does not cause to err by it (any) except the transgressors,



This verse hits the heart of how to approach the Quran.  Mohammad's brought a book from God and in that book God strikes all kinds of parables, be it that of a bug (like in case of the Chapter of the Bees, there is parable there) or something much higher, he is not ashamed of striking parables. 

The believers through these parables they know it's the truth from their Lord as it's highest way of eloquence and bringing the transcendent realities of the next world and inward kingdom to the outward expressions of language.

It connects them to what the Surah began with "they believe in that which has been hidden". 

The signs of God are discerned through these parables and the station of the proof of God becomes known.

The name of God itself is a parable, as is God's image, as is God's word.

The evil people on the other hand, instead of trying to learn through these parables, mock them and treat them as meaningless expressions, and God says he guides many people by them and misguides many people by them.

The Quran is a recitation of God's proofs, the proofs all contain one another, the signs of God are not located in text, but in the heart of those given knowledge, and it's those who we must rely on to understand.

The name of God is itself a reality that has many aspects and can have many parables describing. This station of leadership of God's chosen ones, needs an attentive hearing, hearing through the heart's eyes, by that we mean the vision of the soul.

In other words god can only seem real if you think it is right to believe whatever the fuck you want to believe.
