Islam is the religion which teaches us love and affection
among the people and it keeps the fact intact that there is no as such hatred
spread in any way. It is said in Quran Kareem
“O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at
others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): nor let some
women laugh at others: it may be that the (latter) are better than the
(former): nor defame nor be sarcastic to each other, nor call each other by
(offensive) nicknames”.
There have been many references in our community where
people have been changing Islamic names in the name of fun and comparison which
results in the wrong Pronunciation of the name and is highly condemned. Most
Muslim baby names are based on the Muslim leaders and Prophets in the past who
are very respectful personalities. But when their names are changed in the name
of fun, it is one matter of sin and great disrespect.
Also calling out incomplete names, as parent tends to do so.
They generally pick Popular Muslim baby names which may be a little difficult
to pronounce and then they find out nicknames for their own ease is also not
accepted. Parents shouldn’t find difficult names In the first place and if they
do so, they should abide by them, because keeping nicknames will definitely
cause the change of meaning of the names and this will have negative effects on
the human nature.
Most of the times parents also keeps Allah’s names as the modern Muslim baby names without attaching them with Abdul as a matter of respect, and
keep calling by the name only, this also is not accurate. Hence Parents should
keep that in mind and forbade by disobedience.
