when the children of Muslims will be called by the names of non-Muslims in the plain where Judgment will be made? In our society, the responsibility of giving child a name is assigned to any close relations such as paternal grandmother, aunt, uncle, etc. Sometimes, due to a lack of Islamic knowledge, they give children such names which have no meanings or do not have good meanings or their meanings are not correct as per Shari’ah. One should avoid giving (children) such names. Sometimes such a name is also searched which no one has been given in the house, family or throughout the

locality. Whoever hears the name starts saying that he has heard this name first time; what an excellent name you have given! Hearing these words one who gives the name gets over the moon, but such a person should think for a moment if this pleasure is the result of the disease of ‘the desire for praise’. Therefore children should be named after the blessed names of the Ambiya عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام, blessed companions and Tabi’een رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم and pious saints. One of the benefits of it is that the child will develop a spiritual relation with his pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی and secondly by virtue of the blessing of being named after these righteous personalities Madani effects will also occur upon his life.

In order to get further interesting and amazing information about names, study a 180-page book namely ‘Naam Rakhnay kay Ahkam’ published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah. This book contains hundreds of lists of good names which can be given to children. Moreover, a large number of Madani pearls of giving children names can also be found everywhere in this book. This book can also be read, downloaded and printed from the website of Dawat-e-Islami www.dawateislami.net.
