💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 From your kids' rights on you is to be given good names,
Pleasant names by which they shall be called on Judgment Day,
With beautiful meanings or terms that can motivate
Them to do more good like "Muhsin", "Hasan" and "Hussain"
If the child is male, and "Saalihah" if she's female.
~•~
You can name your sons with the names of Allah's Prophets,
Such as "Adam", "Idrees", "Ibraheem", "Nooh" and "Saalih",
"Ya'qoob", "Ayyoob", "Hud", "Ishaaq", "Ismaeel", and "Yusuf",
"Musa", "Lut", "Harun", "Sulaiman", "Shoaib", "Muhammad",
"Dawood", "Ilyaas", "Yunus", "Yahya" and "Eisa/Jesus".
~•~
Or choose from the names of the rightly guided caliphs
And of entry to Paradise those who were promised,
Like "Abu Bakr" (Abdullah), trustful and honest,
"Umar" and "Ali" known for their wisdom and courage,
And "Uthmaan" who was brave yet so gentle and modest.
~•~
For your daughters you may pick names of the noble wives
Of Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) or women in his lifetime,
Such as "Khadijah" who was kind and good at advice,
"Aisha" who was courageous, intelligent and wise,
Or "Fatima" and "Nusaybah", strong, patient and bright.
~•~
Avoid choosing names of non-Muslim celebrities
Or inventing strange words just because they sound unique.
Select names from those known for their faith and piety,
Or use good adjectives like "Saabirah" and "Jameel".
Your kids are from Allah's blessings, so name them wisely.

📖 Abu Wahb Al-Jushami RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Name yourselves with the names of the prophets. The most beloved names to Allah are 'Abdullah' (the servant of Allah) and 'Abdur Rahman' (the servant of the Merciful). The most truthful of them is 'Haarith' (the harvester of good) and 'Hammaam' (the brave one). The worst names are 'Harb' (war) and 'Murrah' (bitterness)."
