3. Giving a Non-Arabic Name for Muslim Baby

An Islamic scholar and a senior lecturer at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty states:

“Children are a trust in the hands of parents. Parents, therefore, have a duty to receive this divine gift with a true sense of gratitude and do everything at their disposal toprovide the best nurturing. There is nothing better they can do in this regard than by providing them a home filled with love and kindness, and thus contributing to their overall physical, intellectual, ethical and spiritual growth and development. Such a duty begins before the birth of the child and extends all through their lives. Having said this, I must say, that the first important duty when a child is born is to recite the adhan in the right ear in a gentle voice, and give him or her a good name.”

As long as we follow the guidelines on choosing Muslim Names for our babies, there is nothing in the Islamic Sources that indicate we are only allowed to give our children Arabic Names. Islam is a universal religion with many races embracing it. However while choosing Muslim Names for our babies, it is best to choose names that will reflect our Islamic Identities.

3. Choosing Muslim Names the Right Way;The Islam Way.

Rasulallah (s.a.w) said that “Every child is held in pledge for his Aqeeqah which is sacrificed for him on his seventh day, and he is named on it and his head is shaved.”
['Saheeh' by Shaikh al-Albanee '1165' Abu Dawood 'vol: 2, no: 2831' and as well others]

The other narration in this aspect is related by Anas (r.a), who said Rasulallah (s.a.w) said “A boy was born to me this night and I have given him the name of my forefather Ibrahim.”
[Saheeh Muslim (4/ 5733)]

Based on these hadeeth, a child can be named on the day of the baby is out to the world or the naming can wait until the baby is seven days old. Besides that, on the baby’s seventh day, Aqeeqah is performed for the baby and it is preferable for the baby’s head to be shaved.

However there are no restriction for you to name your child at anytime. Both times mentioned in the hadeeth are the best and recommended for naming your baby with a good muslim baby names.
