Naming My Child Jabbar Or Qahhar?
Thank you for replying. I agree that changing name isn’t necessary once you convert to Islam in normal circumstances. However IF a name is not permissible then surely Prophet (s.a.w) would ask a muslim to change their name. In fact we have read many authentic narrations where He (s.a.w) asked/suggested people should change their name or the name they were giving to their child & these werent even names that had adopted Allah’s names or other names which included shirk – these were just normal names such as Barrah which was changed to Zainab. So how come the name of Hakeem was left unchanged – would it have been left unchanged if it was hypothetically Al-hakeem? I don’t think so. Thank you again for your guidance
