Forbidden names for puplic

My Name Has No Meaning You always felt like a name should have a story to it. A deep meaning. A connection. You name has none of these. ? It is common. In fact, most ppl call their babies name which turn out non meaningful. Q; My daughter is a half year old, and I called her Malika, and I heard that it is forbidden, is it forbidden ? Allah said: Those who do not believe in the Hereafter The so-called angels named female [al-najam: 27], such as that laib, if called by the male is nothing wrong, but this is where the female laiba is similar to the heathens. 2 - name giving as: Abrar Question: my brother Naming his daughter Abrar can he name it? Answer: It may be said that this sponsorship, and the Prophet Peace be upon him change the name of abrar and bara They should change it. * rehman is name of allah no muslim should name his surname after it. Rahman raheem gafoor is forbidde for muslims, but names like majid aziz can names by muslim. Names with unnoun meaning, shaitan names like walah, aangel names for girls,names after celebrities, idol names,name called by unmuslim and Christians name are not welcome for muslim babies and names for kuffar such as abu talib *The word Laaiba literally means "Player" or "Playful" which if named for a Hoor of Jannah would be befitting. However, for a Muslimah, although a baby now will not remain a baby and could have an effect on the personality of a person as mentioned in Ahadeeth where Nabi (saw) changed the name of Sahaaba's during his lifetime. I cannot recall if this name is mentioned in Hadeeth as being the name of a Hoor but the above should clarify that if true, it is suitable for a Hoor. A public note will be added to this question In-Shaa-Allah if sources are found. We would recommend that the name be changed if possible For muslim girls names and meaning see link below:- http://www.islamicity.com/culture/names/female.htm by A,k for baitul mukarram june 2014.

Prohibited Names in Islam

From Manners of Welcoming the New Born Child in IslaamBy Yoosuf ibn ‘Abdullaah Al-‘AreefeeTranslated by Aboo Talhah Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank  

There are also names which are contrary to the Shariah or which have meanings unacceptable to people of sound intellect and pure souls, so these names are to be avoided, since giving these names to the children would be a crime against their Deen (beliefs) and their manners because they would grow up connected to these names and the meanings which they carry.The prohibited names are of two categories: those which are forbidden in the Shariah and those which are either disapproved of due to the Shariah, or due to manners and good taste.

FORBIDDEN NAMES

1. Names indicating servitude to other than Allah (SWT) such as: 'Abdun-Nabee (slave of the Prophet), 'Abdur-Rasool (slave of the Messenger) and 'Abdul - Muttalib - and whatever is like these names. Just the same in meaning are ‘Ghulaamun-Nabee’ and Ghulaamur-Rasool’.
2. Using these names which are particular names of Allah (SWT)- the One far removed from all deficiencies - like: al-Ahad (the One and Only, Unique in his Lordship, names and attributes, and His right to worship. The One having no equal, no assistant, no rival and no one similar to Him), ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful) and al-Khaliq (the Creator).
3. From the names which should also be avoided are the names of tyrants and despots like: Fir'awn (Pharaoh), Qaroon, Abu Jahl and their like, also the names of the leaders of Kufr and the heads of atheism such as Marx, Lenin and so on, since using their names would mean that one was pleased with their actions, and would mean imitation of them, and love of their systems of thought - and all this is forbidden.

NAMES DISAPPROVED OF IN THE SHAREE'AH OR DISLIKED DUE TO GOOD MANNERS OR GOOD TASTE

1. Giving names which are meant to show servitude to Allah (SWT) but not known to be from Allah's (SWT) perfect names - like 'Abdul-Mawjood, Abdul-Maqsood  This is because nothing can be affirmed as one of Allah's (SWT) names without an authentic text, and these names do not satisfy this as they are rather attributes and information, so it is to be feared that in this way we might fall into giving Allah (SWT) names which neither He nor His Messenger (SAW) used for Him.
2. From these names are those which carry meanings of pessimism, or blameworthy characteristics which will be disliked or cause aversion or cause the possessor of the name to feel degraded, humiliated and such as will kill his personality - like Harb (war), Himar (donkey), and Kalb (dog) - and their like which are usually given as names by people of the desert of countryside.
3. From good manners is to avoid naming children with names which are suggestive or offend one's meaning of shame - such as: Huyam (one passionately in love), Nuhad (A young woman with full and raised breasts), Saham (summer heat)!, Wisal (sexual union), fatin (temptress), Fitnah (temptation), Shadiyah (female singer) and names with similar meanings.So fathers and mothers should steer clear of giving these kind of names to their children - since they are mostly names carried by the lunatic film actresses and dancers and using these names may be a danger to the children’s personality and to their society - since they will grow up having an attachment and fondness for them along with the meaning they convey and for those infamous persons who carry these names. This may then lead them to imitate those people and follow their way, slowly losing their Islamic personality - and it is to Allah (SWT) that we turn for aid.
4. It is also disliked to give names which amount to a declaration of a person's being pious like: Barrah (pious / piety) and the like - due to this meaning the Messenger of Allah (SAW) changed the name of one of his wives from Barrah to Zaynab, as he used to hate that it be said: "He left/went out from 'Barrah' (piety) also iman
."5. From these names which it is disliked to use for naming are the names of the Angels. Particularly if they are used for females - such as Malik since it is to be feared that this involves imitation of the pagans who gave feminine names to the angels. But as regards to their use for males - then that is disliked by Malik, but allowed by a group of the scholars since the Hadith prohibiting it is not authentic.
6. Just as it is disliked to name with the names of Surahs of the Quran such as: TaHa, Yaseen and other names of Surahs. This is the saying of Imam Malik (Ra) - Ibnul- Qayyim also said: "The saying of the common people that Yaseen and TaHa are from the names of the Prophet (SAW) is not correct, there is no 'Sahih' Hadith about it or any 'Hasan' Hadith, nor anything 'Mursal' [having a missing link between the Tabiee and the Prophet (SAW)], nor any narration from any Companion, but rather they are letters like 'Alif Lam Meem', 'Ha Meem', 'Alif Lam Raa' and the like."
7. It is disliked to give names 'Yasar' (Ease), 'Rabah' (Profit), 'Najeeh' (Successful), 'Aflah' Prosperous), 'Ya'la' (Elevated)' and Barakah' (Blessing) since the Messenger (SAW) forbade that with his saying:"Do not call your boy Yasar, nor Rabah, nor Najeeh, nor Aflah, since you will say: Is he there?' So it will be said: 'No'. Indeed they are four, so do not attribute more to me." (Reported by Muslim, Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhee)And the forbiddence of Ya'a and Barakah occurs in another Hadith reported by Muslim.

CHANGING PROHIBITED NAMES

The Messenger (SAW) used to love names which were good in their wording and meaning and he used to hate other names, prohibit them and change them. From these names which the Messenger (SAW) changed was:· ‘Aasiyah (Disobedient) - he changed her name to Jameelah (Beautiful and Good) (Reported by Muslim & Abu Dawud)· He (SAW) also said to a man, "What is your name?" So he replied: "Hazn." (Roughness). So he (SAW) said: "Rather you are Sahl (Smooth)." (Reported by Al-Bukhari & Abu Dawud)· ‘Barrah (Pious Woman) to Zaynab (Reported by Muslim)· As-Surm (Separation) to Sa’eed (Al-Bukhari)· Asram (Cut Off) to Zur’ah (Sown Seed) (Reported by Abu Dawud)· Jaththamah (Signifying Inactivity) to Husanah (Good and Beautiful) (Reported by al-Hakim)· Shihab (Flame and Fire) to Hisham (Reported by Al-Bukhari)· Harb (War) to Silm (Peace) (Reported by Abu Dawud)· Banuz-Zinyah (Sons of Fornication) to Banur-Rashdah (Sons of Lawful Marriage) (Reported by Abu Dawud).EXAMPLES OF PROHIBITED NAMES‘Abdul-Maqsood‘Abdul-Mawjood‘Abdul-Muttalib‘Abdun-Nabee (slave of the Prophet)‘Abdur-Rasool (slave of the Messenger)‘Abdus-SattarAasiyah (disobedient: not same as Pharaoh’s wife)Abu JahlAflah (prosperous)al-Ahadal-Khaliq (the Creator)ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful)Asram (cut off)Banuz-Zinyah (sons of fornication)Barakah (blessing)Barrah (pious / piety)David (Name given to Prophet Dawud (AS) in the Bible)DianaFatin (temptress)Firawn (Pharaoh)Fitnah (temptation)GeorgeGhadah (delicate young woman)Ghulaamun-NabeeGhulaamur-RasoolHarb (war)Hazn (roughness)Himar (donkey)Huyam (one passionately in love)JaclynJaththamah (signifying inactivity)Joseph (name given to Prophet Yusuf (AS) in the Bible)Kalb (dog)LeninMalak (name of an angel)MarxMichaelNajeeh (successful)Names of Jews and ChristiansNuhad (a young woman with full and raised breasts)QaroonRabah (profit)Saham (summer heat)Shadiyah (female singer)Shihab (flame and fire)Name of any surah in QuranTaHa (Surah in Quran)Wisal (sexual union)Ya’la (elevated)Yasar (ease)Yaseen (Surah in Quran)

Bidah alert for 15th of Shaban : Shab-e-barat

It's amazing how some people leave the fardh and that which is an obligation upon them, but when something has not even been authenticated then they rush to do it...Allahul mu'ustaa'aan
beaware of the Bid'ah done in Shabaan (the month before Ramadan)


Since we just started the month of Shabaan, I think it is appropriate to let people know about this-------What is narrated concerning the virtue of praying, fasting and worshipping on the fifteenth of Sha’baan (al-nusf min Sha’baan) does not come under the heading of da’eef (weak), rather it comes under the heading of mawdoo’ (fabricated) and baatil (false). So it is not permissible to follow it or to act upon it, whether that is in doing righteous deeds or otherwise. A number of scholars ruled that the reports concerning that were false, such as Ibn al-Jawzi in his book al-Mawdoo’aat, 2/440-445; Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in al-Manaar al-Muneef, no. 174- 177; Abu Shaamah al-Shaafa’i in al-Baa’ith ‘ala Inkaar al-Bida’ wa’l-Hawaadith, 124-137; al-‘Iraaqi in Takhreej Ihyaa’ ‘Uloom il-Deen, no. 582. Shaykh al-Islam [Ibn Taymiyah] narrated that there was consensus on the fact that they are false, in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 28/138. Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Hukm al-Ihtifaal bi Laylat al-Nusf min Sha’baan (Ruling on celebrating the fifteenth of Sha’baan): Celebrating the night of the fifteenth of Sha’baan (Laylat al-Nusf min Sha’baan) by praying etc, or singling out this day for fasting, is a reprehensible bid’ah (innovation) according to the majority of scholars, and there is no basis for this in sharee’ah. And he (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There is no saheeh hadeeth concerning the night of the fifteenth of Sha’baan (Laylat al-Nusf min Sha’baan). All the ahaadeeth that have been narrated concerning that are mawdoo’ (fabricated) and da’eef (weak), and have no basis. There is nothing special about this night, and no recitation of Qur’aan or prayer, whether alone or in congregation, is specified for this night. What some of the scholars have said about it being special is a weak opinion. It is not permissible to single it out for any special actions. This is the correct view. And Allaah is the Source of strength. Fataawa Islamiyyah, 4/511. See also question no. 8907. Secondly: Even if we assume that the hadeeth is da’eef (weak) and not mawdoo’ (fabricated), the correct scholarly view is that weak ahaadeeth should not be followed at all, even if they speak of righteous deeds or of targheeb and tarheeb (promises and warnings). The saheeh reports are sufficient and the Muslim has no need to follow the da’eef reports. Nothing is known in Islam to suggest that this night or day is special, either from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) or from his companions. The scholar Ahmad Shaakir said: There is no difference between rulings or righteous deeds; we do not take any of them from da’eef reports, rather no one hast he right to use any report as evidence unless it is proven to be soundly narrated from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in a saheeh or hasan hadeeth. Al-Baa’ith al-Hatheeth, 1/278. For more information, see: al-Qawl al-Muneef fi Hukm al-‘Aml bi’l-Hadeeth al-Da’eef. http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/49675http://www.islamqa.com/en/ref/44877please those who love to argue stay out of this thread...

fanoos a traditional style

The present tradition of Ramadan lanterns dates from the rule of Saladin. Lantern designs were copied from the Qanadil and Mishkat (lamps) of Mosques. However, according to the historian, Al-Maqrizi, in his book, "Kitab al-Mawa`iz wa al-'l`tibar Bidhikr al-Khitat wa al-'Athar" (page 265), alludes to an earlier tradition. According to him, it was originally a Coptic Christian festivity celebrated at Christmas time (Coptic version) where people used to parade with colorful candles. The competition was to "outdo" each other with more and more expensive candles until one day when hard times fell upon Egypt, the people were no longer able to afford to buy the very expensive candles and thus the tradition nearly died out.Lanterns and lamps of various kinds, hues and degrees of brightness, have always been special to the Egyptians. Many stories of their origins have been told. One story has it that the Fatimid Caliph Al Hakim Bi-Amr Illah wanted to light the streets of Cairo during Ramadan nights, so he orderd all the sheikhs of mosques to hang fawanees that could be illuminated by candles. As a result, the Fanoos became a custom that has never been abandoned.Another story states that, during the time of the Caliph Al Hakim Bi-Amr Illah, women were not allowed to leave their houses except duringRamadan, but even then they had to be preceded by a little boy carrying a copper Fanoos. The Fanoos was then used as a tool to announce the arrival of a woman to caution men in the street to move away. As the laws against women softened, women were allowed to go out as they wished but people liked the idea of the Fanoos, and so it became a tradition that little children carry them in the streets everyday to play.Regardless of the validity of these stories, the Fanoos remains a very unique symbol ofRamadanto Muslims and Christians alike. It has passed from generation to generation, and is today explicitly associated with children. It's popular image is children playing out in the streets during Ramadan, happily swinging their Fawanees and singing a nonce rhyme in colloquial Egyptian Arabic which was composed by Ahmed Sherif, who is one of the renowned music writers and composers. The song goes like this:Wahawi ya Wahawi (metaphorically meaning the light of fire)…Iyuha (an unknown word which is used to rhyme in between)…Ruht ya Sha’ban (you have gone, O Sha’ban referring to the month before Ramadan)…Wi Gheet ya Ramadan (You have gone, O Ramadan)…Iyuha….Bint el Sultan (The daughter of the Sultan)…Iyuha…Labsa el Guftan (Is wearing her caftan)…Iyuha…Yalla ya Ghaffar (For God the forgiver)…Iduna el Idiya (Give us this season’s gift)..Yalla ya Ghafar.In the days leading up to Ramadan, children become more insistent about having a lantern; many can hardly wait to start swinging and singing - for what child, from its earliest years, is not attracted by a glowing, magical lantern? Yet Cairo children may be the most "lantern-struck" of all: Recent research by Dr. Marsin Mahdi of Harvard University indicates that Scheherezade's 'Alaa' al-Din (Aladdin) of the magic lamp may well have been a Cairo boy.Only the lantern-makers know all the designs, manufacturing secrets and, above all, the names of their magical lanterns. New designs are sometimes created to commemorate special events: A special lantern named "Farouk," after the late Egyptian king, was created many years ago when he was a boy. One of Mahmoud's smallest is called Musa, or "Moses"; a much bigger one is Shaqqat Battikhah Kabirah ("A Big Piece of Watermelon"), bigger still is Najmat al-Bahr ("The Star of the Sea"), which waits in his shop to glow in the night and gladden the heart of some child, once the holy month arrives.Thanks,Amer
