How to choose an Islamic name for your son
The Prophet Muhammad ﻟ said: “The most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman” (Sahih Muslim 2132). Names of Prophets — Muhammad, Ibrahim, Yusuf, Musa, Isa — carry special honour. Names with the prefix “Abdul” followed by one of Allah's 99 attributes (Abdul Kareem, Abdul Hakeem) reflect servitude to Allah. Choose a name with a good meaning that is easy to pronounce in your community.
