How can I be guided regarding the method of conducting a research study on understanding the Beautiful Names of Allah, and what are the books that should be read sequentially to aid in writing this research?

Belief in the names and attributes of Allah is one of the pillars of faith in Allah, and one of the three categories of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah). It is the noblest and most magnificent of sciences. This topic must be studied in light of the texts of the Qur’an and Sunnah, and according to the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah. To begin this research, it is recommended to start with the works and commentaries of contemporary scholars due to their ease, then move on to the books of the early Imams. Topics should be clearly defined, and care must be taken to quote from the scholars and imams of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah. Recommended works include: "Al-Qawa'id al-Muthla" (The Ideal Rules), "Sharh al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah" by Ibn Uthaymeen, and "Sharh Asma’ Allah al-Husna" (Explanation of the Beautiful Names of Allah) by Al-Hamoud Al-Najdi.
