Analogy of 'Abd al-Rahim and 'Abd al-Malik with 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence, father, this questioner asks: Is it permissible to analogize other names, such as 'Abd al-Rahim and 'Abd al-Malik, to the names 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman?
The Shaykh:
You have heard that the most beloved names to Allah are those that contain servitude to Allah or mercy from Allah to His servant. The most beloved names to Allah are 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman. The rest are permissible: 'Abd al-Samad, 'Abd al-Ilah, 'Abd al-Qadir, 'Abd al-Rahman, and so on. These are permissible. However, 'Abd Allah and 'Abd al-Rahman are more preferred than them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father.
The Shaykh:
Behind this is the objection to the names of the West that have spread among Muslims today. Behind the objection to those names is the objection to the name Talhah. Yes.
