The ruling on changing the names 'Abd al-Nasir and 'Abd al-Jalil

Question:
We received this question, Honorable Shaykh, from a questioner who says: My name is 'Abd al-Nasir, and they call me Nasir. I have recently committed myself to the religion, and I have resolved to change my name, if Allah wills, because I did not find this name in the Sunnah or in the Book. Am I correct? And I have a friend whose name is 'Abd al-Jalil. Is al-Jalil one of the names of Allah? And is it obligatory to change the name?

Answer:
It is not obligatory to change 'Abd al-Nasir; it is not obligatory. And if you change it, there is no harm, but you are not required to do so, because it is not a bad name. And if they call you Nasir, there is no harm in that either. The name Nasir is common among Muslims. And 'Abd al-Jalil is fine, because al-Jalil is one of the names of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
