It is permissible to supplicate using the Beautiful Names of Allah, based on His saying, the Most High: "And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them" (Quran 7:180), and the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "I ask You by every name belonging to You, by which You have named Yourself... to make the Quran the spring of my heart..." (the rest of the Hadith). Ibn al-Qayyim held the view that the best supplication is that in which the supplicant seeks intercession with Allah through His names and attributes.
