Muslim Baby Names

It is reported that when Prophet Muhammad (salAllahualayhiwa Salaam) would name children with Islamic names, he would act in a way that showed he expected the best for the child. When we researched on the popular Muslim baby names that the Prophet gave to newborn children, the majority were either the names of other Prophets, like Ibrahim, or names like Abdullah and Abdurrahman, from the names of Allah, which referred to the qualities of Allah.  We know that in general when a child is given the name of a Prophet it is because there is desire that the child has to, in some way, follow in the footsteps of that Prophet. Those who carry the Islamic name of a Prophet at the same time will act as a means of commemoration, as names are not merely words, but they become a way that a “connection” is established between the person or meaning that they represent and the world. In our little explanation for Muslim baby boy names about the use of the name Muhammad we have already com...

In Islam, one cannot just arbitrarily select a baby name. It has to be very meaningful and appropriate because Prophet Muhammad had clearly mentioned in the Hadith that on the day of Judgement, people would be called by their and their mother’s name. Hence, he ordered parents to give noble names to their children. He also instructed the parents to switch the names if they later find the meanings are either abrupt or unpleasant. Even the scholar and veterans stress that the name of a person has a direct affect on his character. In Islam, it’s also advised to honor the messengers and close people of God by naming the children after them. These Muslim baby names will not just bring goodness to the child, but will also inspire him to lead a meaningful life. This also emphasizes the popularity of the name “Muhammad” in the world. Finding an Islamic name that fulfills all these qualities will not be easy. Our religion inspires us to give appropriate names to the Muslim babies. Mu...
