Most Muslim parents
name their children after the Prophet, according to the Holy Quran, but there
are a few who also choose names that follow the principles of culture. In other
words, names that follow Islamic name by letter. In this
way, they try to add something of value to their child, making his life better
than his parents' life.
The first part of the
name begins with a vowel, and if the vowel is long, it must be converted to
another letter. For example, if a parent wants to call his child Muhammad, then
he must use an uppercase letter and convert it to a lowercase letter. But if
the vowel is short, it can be converted to another letter. For example, if a
parent wants to call his child Ameer, then he must use a lowercase letter and
convert it to an uppercase letter.
The second part of the
name begins with a consonant. For example, if a parent wants to call his child
Bachir, then he must use a consonant. He can make his name less consonant by
combining two consonants. For example, if a parent wants to call his child
Ansar, then he must use an e-sound.
The last part of the
name consists of two consonants and two vowels, and it can be shortened to one
or two syllables depending on the syllable length of the name. For example, if
a parent wants to call his child As-soon, then he can shorten it to
"AS" by using a second consonant.
The pronunciations of
the names should be as close as possible to their native language. So it is
important to listen to the baby when he/she is crying to help you to get an
approximate pronunciation.
After choosing the
name, it is important to understand the values of the name. For example, it is
permissible to combine letters from the names of Allah to add value to the
name.
One of the greatest
rewards that a Muslim can have is his/her name. It is a sign of commitment to
Islam, devotion, trust, and commitment. So before giving your baby a name, ask
yourself these questions: Is the name strong, meaningful, and memorable?
