MUSLIM BABY NAMES, WHAT IS IT?

Name, especially muslim baby names is what a person is distinguished by. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as a word or a combination of words constituting the individual designation by which a person, animal, place or thing is known, spoken of, etc. The name you pick for your baby is a word that will be used to identify them for the rest of their life. One should always remember that the muslim baby name given to a child is his or her first gift in life. Therefore great care must be taken in choosing muslim baby names that have pleasant and beautiful meanings just like our Prophet (SAW) did.



People name their children to distinguish them from others. Muslim baby names must be named on the seventh day atleast. According to a Hadith a child must be named promptly on birth. The muslim baby name must be meaningful. "Your baby will be called by your muslim baby name on the day of judgment" this is another reason why it is important to chose a muslim baby name with good meaning. The prophet (PBUH) was very particular about it and he always changed names that were derogatory. An example is that he changed Aasiyah (disobedient) into Jameelah (beautiful).

A muslim baby name must not be given the name of Allah unless it is compounded with Allah. According to a Hadith the worst of men on the day of judgement will be one who is called Shahinshah. only Allah Ta'ala is king of kings or Shahinshah; Kingdom belongs to him alone.

Further parents must make sure that the muslim baby names they select signify servitude to Allah alone and to no one else. They must not append bondage even to the name Prophet. Muslim baby names that reflect love or romance must not be used either. The Prophet has suggested names of the Prophets or Abdullah and Abdur Rahman. He has said.

Keep the names of the noble Prophets, Allah loves most the names Abdullah and Abdur Rahman. The most truthful names are Harith and Humam, while the most disliked are Harb and Murrah (war and bitter)."
