Now here are some points you should keep in mind before choosing a name for your baby, etc.
- It is forbidden to use names that contain of bad, improper meanings or if the name has no meaning to it all.
- Names such as Fir'aun, Haman and others musn't be used since they are of wicked rulers.
- Devil names like Al-A’war, Al-Ajda, Khanzab, etc are forbidden to be used as names.
- Do not use a boy's name for a girl and vice versa.
- It is forbidden to pick names that imply meanings that are unpleasant or offensive in connotations. The Prophet had changed names from Harb (War) with Salam (Peace), ‘Asiyah (Rebellious) with Jamilah (Beautiful), Sa`b (Difficult) with Sahl (Easy to deal with), etc
- Avoid names that give off any indication of any trace of shirk or association of partners with Allah like `Abd al-Ka`bah, or `Abd al-Nabi meaining 'servant of the Ka`bah' or 'servant of the Prophet', since all of us are servants of Allah alone. Instead you can use Abdul (slave or servant of) with probably any of the 99 names/attributes of Allah like for example Abdullah which means 'Slave of Allah'
- It is forbidden to use names of fetish (worship items)like Latta,'Uzza, Manat, Assah, Naailat, Hublu, and others
- For the 99 names of Allah there must be 'Abd' or 'Abdul' in front of it which means Slave of (Servant of). So for example Abdul Sabur would work, which means 'Servant of the Patient'
- It is forbidden to select a name which is not known to be from the Perfect Names/Attributes of Allah , like for ex: Abd al-Mawjood (the slave of the Present One), Abd al-Sattar, etc. This is so because Allah's Names cannot be confirmed without an authentic text straight from the Qur'an or the Sunnah. By doing such a thing, we would end up giving Names to Allah, which are not affirmed for Him.
- It is Makrooh to use any word with the name of Allah except 'Abd', like 'Rahmat Allah' meaning 'the Blessings of Allah'.
Now whatever Arabic name you decide to choose for you or your baby is up to you but please make sure to keep these points in mind before deciding to choose what name you want and this should hopefully save you from choosing a name that musn't be used. Anyway take care once again :)
