Question: What is the meaning of the name Abdurasul?

Answer: The name Abdurasul means servant of the Prophet. It is better to change such names.

Question: My name is Shohruh. Many pious acquaintances of mine are advising me to change my name. My name doesn't fit our religion a bit. Is that so?

Answer: If you can, it’s best to replace.

Question: I heard that it is not good to name a girl Sanam. My daughter's name is Gulsanamkhan, what is the meaning of this name and is it permissible to give this name to a girl?

Answer: Sanam (ṣنم) means idol in Arabic. That is why such a name should not be given. Every parent should not leave out a name that he or she likes when naming his or her child, but ask the scholars for the meaning of the name. It is not permissible to put names like Shohsanam or Gulsanam. Vallohu a'lam.

Question: I am currently pregnant with my 3rd child. When I went to check, they said she was a girl (again, Allah knows best). God willing, we wanted to name her Safina. Safina is the name of Noah's ark. Can we give this name to our child?

Answer: You need to give your child names that signify good meaning. The word “Safina” you mentioned in the question means “ship” in Arabic. Giving a child a beautiful name is one of the responsibilities of a parent. Vallohu a'lam.

Question: My nephew's name is Maftunahon. I’ve heard the meaning of this name isn’t good, is it?

Answer: In Arabic, the word can take two different forms. The word maftuna, translated from Arabic, means "given to something," "deviated from the right path," and "stolen from the mind," "burned." We therefore advise against giving such a name. Vallohu a'lam.

Question: I wanted to ask about the meaning of the name Muhriddin. May Allah increase your knowledge.

Answer: In Arabic, a mule is called Muhrun. Although this name is present in our tradition, it is not considered one of the names that are customary among believers. If we interpret the meaning of this name in one way or another, we can expect the meanings of "the young son of religion" or "the pious from his youth." Vallohu a'lam.

Question: We recently had a son and we want to name him Alazim. This name is one of the names of the Creator, and it is said that the slaves are called Abdulazim. My eldest son's name is Alaziz and he was also told that his name should be changed. If you can explain this.

Answer: Yes, when naming, the name "abdu" is placed next to the beautiful names of Allah. You name it Abdulazim. Change the name of your eldest son Alaziz to Aziz or Abdulaziz. Naming is an important practice. Therefore, instead of leaving a favorite name to one's child, one should ask the scholars what the meaning of this name is and whether it is possible to give it a name, and then give it a name. 'ladi. Sadly, some of our Muslim people are naming their children after non-Muslims, the names of athletes like football stars whose social lifestyles are unknown to us, or the names of some Indian actresses. Giving such a name is a violation of the rights of the child.

Question: May I have the name of 'Amal Muhammad if I have a son, God willing?

Answer: The name you say does not mean the right thing. So avoid giving such a name.

Question: Can we name our daughter Elif in Turkish? I also heard that Turkey is a Muslim country.

Answer: The word "Alif" in Turkish means "Alif", the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. It's just the name of a letter. It makes no other sense. It is better that you give your daughter a name that has another beautiful meaning. Vallohu a'lam.
