One of the duties of parents towards their children is to give them a beautiful name. In this regard, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) stated, “Give your children beautiful names.” (Abu Dawud, Adab, 69) and expressed that people would be called with their names on the Day of Judgment.

When it comes to naming children after the names of Allah, we need to express that the names specific to Allah should not be given to children with the same wording. If one wants to name their children with names that will bring Allah to mind, they should add the word “abd” before the name meaning “servant”, and give names such as “Abdullah” (Servant of Allah), “Abdurrahman” (Servant of al-Rahman), “Abdurrahim” (Servant of al-Rahim), “Abdulqadir” (Servant of al-Qadir).

Some of the names from al-Asma al-Husna such as Karim, Latif, Rauf etc. are common names which can be used to define humans as well and such names can be given to the children. (Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar, IX, 598)
