Choose a Beautiful and Meaningful Islamic Name for Your Child

Choosing a name for a newborn is an important responsibility for Muslim parents. A good name is more than a way to identify a child; it reflects meaning, intention and the hopes parents have for their child's future. When choosing a name, Muslims seek one that carries a good meaning and hope that their child will receive its blessings (Barakah).

It is designed to assist parents and families in selecting suitable names rooted in Islamic tradition and to encourage thoughtful, informed choices when welcoming a new member of the family.

The Importance of Choosing a Good Name

Islam places importance on giving children good names. The Hadith literature encourages Muslims to choose names with good meanings and reminds them that people will be called by their names on the Day of Qiyaamah.

Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) encouraged the use of the names of the Prophets and highlighted the special merit of names such as Abdullah and Abdur-Rahmaan. He also taught that names carry meanings, making it important to avoid names with undesirable meanings.
