It is the
infant’s vested right to be honored with a beautiful name. When
choosing a Muslim baby name for the child, it should be done with the
intention that the baby will be blessed with the barakah
of that name.
According to
a Hadith a child must be named promptly on birth. The baby
name should be meaningful. 'You will be called by your name
on the day of judgment' this is another reason why it is
important to chose a
baby name with good meaning.
The prophet (pbuh) was very particular about it. 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)."
Psychologists now apprehend the wisdom
of the effect a person’s name has on his life. But Muhammad
(Sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam) had revealed this fact
to his followers already 1400 years ago. His teaching to his
followers was that children should be given good names, and
that meaningless names and those having unsavory
connotations should be avoided. Subsequently, we find many
incidents mentioned in the Hadith where Rasoolullah (Sallallahu-alayhi-wasallam)
changed the names of people with this object.
Another aspect of a person’s name is
that it bespeaks a person’s religion. Hence the name of a
Muslim is usually of such a nature that by the mere mention
of it, the listener understands that the person so
addressed, is a Muslim. It is for this reason that our
elders laid great emphasis on keeping good and pleasant
names.
But since the widespread of Western culture throughout the world, it has become customary amongst Muslims not to consider the meaning of the name when naming a baby. Many do not even bother to ascertain whether it is permissible for one to keep such a baby name or not. Often, even if the baby name is correct and suitable, then by way of abbreviating it, its Islamic connotation is distorted. In fact, at times it even becomes unlawful to address one Rahman; Abdur-Razzaq, Razzaq and Wahaab are the exclusive epithets of Allah Ta’ala. To address any creation, by such a name, is there unlawful.
