description The objective of this research is to explain the Prophets Approach in teaching the Names and Attributes of Allah, through his easy and convenient speech, making the recipient of that message understands it easily and smoothly as well. We are in need of that straight path and eloquent speech; especially the people of specialization, in order to teach people how to be adherent to the prophet's (Peace be upon him) wonderful Tradition. If we look at the doctrinal address on the side of the names and attributes, in many of the medieval Islamic schools, for example, we will find it tended to verbally philosophical direction that is uncertain and controversial for many reasons. Therefore, the speech has become understandable for the public and has almost become for elites , specialists and intellectuals, . In spite of the importance of faith in Names and Attributes of Allah and explaining this for the people as a religion that must be declared, as the Prophet did (Peace be upon him), Names and Attributes are related to Allah. This had a very clear effect on the hearts of companions of the Prophet, when explained clearly and easily. And here is the prophet say: (Allah laughed from the despair of his servants and nearness of others). Abu Razein Al-Ogaili, the narrator of the tradition (hadeith) said: "O Messenger of Allah: is Allah laughs?' The prophet said "Yes". "We will not miss blessing from a God that laughs" said Abu Razein when the prophet said "Yes". When the companions asked the prophet whether they can see their Lord, he (Peace be upon him) said: "You will see your Lord on the day of Judgment as you can see the full moon at night, ". The companions understood directly the meaning of the prophet speech, and they did not understand that the Almighty Creator resembles his creatures. Because they distinguished between the Creator and creatures. This shows the tolerance of our religion, and the civility and eloquence of its words. It also demonstrates that the recipient has understood this superior presentation of the prophetic approach, which I am doing my best to gather and explain. After this summary, I request from Allah to improve my intention and help me to do what Pe likes and blesses.
