Muslim names are symbolic. They determine the future of the child and carry certain information about the person. The basic principle in choosing a Muslim name is the permissibility of Sharia.
Instructions
Step 1
When choosing a Muslim name for your child, be sure to refer to a special dictionary-reference book. It not only lists all the names, but also gives an explanation of what this or that name means and how it is translated.
Step 2
In Islam, there are five categories of names that are considered good. The best ones for boys are Abdullah and Abdurrahman. They are the favorite names of Allah.
Step 3
Names denoting worship and obedience to Allah are also considered good. These are such as Abdulaziz, Abudulmalik, Abdurrahim, Abdussalam.
Step 4
You can choose the name of the prophet or messenger. The best of which are considered Muhammad and Ahmad, as well as Musa, Isa and Ibrahim.
Step 5
The next category includes the names of the Prophet's companions and the righteous servants of Allah.
Step 6
When calling a child by a Muslim name, remember that he will live with him. Therefore, choose one that will not cause inconvenience and negative reactions from others. And also will not create any problems in the future.
Step 7
Undesirable names include those expressing obedience or service not to Allah. For example, Abd-ar-Rasul means the slave of the Messenger, and Abd-al-Amir is translated as the slave of the ruler. You should not call children by the names of angels and suras of the Koran, such as Yasin and Ta-Ha, as well as denoting sin (Sorik is a thief), the name of some animals (Khimar is a donkey).
Step 8
Do not add the words "Din" and "Islam" to the name. For example, Nur ud-Din, which means the light of religion, or Nu rul-Islam, which translates as the light of Islam. You should not add any words to the name of Allah (Hasabu-Allah). The only exception is the word "Abd", which is considered acceptable. For example, Abdullah.
Step 9
Look at the name from different angles. Listen to him for euphony and compatibility with the prefix Abu. Think about how it will suit your son's children. And how will it sound - "Son of such and such, son of such and such," as is customary in Islam.
