So nowhere in the Quran it mentions الصبور being the name of Allah, that means the 99th name in this list is wrong and therefore the whole list is unreliable. We could analyze many more of these supposed "names" how they are not actually in the Quran. They are even easier ones to debunk, for example The Preventer (المانع) doesn't exist in the verse 67:21, not even a verb derived from the same root منع. Although the word "Preventer" exists in the Quran (50:25 and 68:12), but it is written as مناع, not مانع and it says "preventer of good" about disbelievers.

====One name is enough to raise a thousand questions====
====Other names not mentioned in the list====
Analyzing the list, we see that some of the "names of Allah" don't seem to be proper names, but just simply nouns like "patience". And also sometimes the "name of Allah" is derived from a verb occurring in the Quran. Using the same tactics, we could find many more names of Allah in the Quran.
For example, the verse 8:17 says Allah killed people, so why not take this verb and say that Allah's name is القاتل (al-qaatil, The Killer)?
{{Quote|{{Quran|8|17}}|
And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

The Qur'an terms Allah as the best of deceivers (''khayru al-makireena''). For obvious reasons, this name is not there in the above list.
The Qur'an also terms Allah as [[Allah the Best Deceiver|The Best of Deceivers]] (''khayru al-makireena''). For obvious reasons, this name is not there in the above list.

It is quite likely that Allah has been always deceiving everybody including Muslims since this is a superlative ("best of deceivers"). More details [[Allah the Best Deceiver|here]]. The 13th sura in ayat 42 even goes ahead and states that all deception is by Allah.<ref>[https://www.islamawakened.com/quran/13/42/default.htm AYAH ar-Ra`d 13:42]</ref>
We could find many other names of Allah in the Quran.
 
Most secular and rational scholars suspect Muhammad to have had a mental disorder and that may explain why he saw visions that none of his contemporaries saw viz. Angel Gabriel, Allah's revelations, Hellfire, Heaven, etc. If this is not true, it is likely that Muhammad was receiving verses from Satan instead of Allah. In Christianity, Satan is a well known deceiver and God cannot be a deceiver.<ref>See this debate: [https://answering-islam.org/Shamoun/allah_best_deceiver.htm]</ref> Besides, the Qur'an never told its readers properly how to identify Satan. We wonder why.
