Question

In one book I found these names included and total names given are 102 but in all other books these names are not included.

Answer

Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said that a person who memorises the 99 names of Allah Ta'ala will be guaranteed entrance into Jannat. This does not mean that there are only 99 names for Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala has many other names.

The correct pronunciation of the first name that you have mentioned is 'al-Mun'im' which is one of the names of Allah Ta'ala although not includes in the famous 99 names. The second name is 'al-Mu'tee'. This is a name of Allah Ta'ala and according to one narration it is also included in the 99 names.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
