The Ruling on Using Allah’s Beautiful Names in the Form of “Servant of”

Question:
I ask Allah for your well-being. Is it permissible to use any attribute or name from the names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, in the form of “servant of” (e.g., ‘Abd al-Name) as an act of worship, and so on?

Answer:
There is no harm in it; there is no harm. One worships through the name, worshipping the name for a name of Allah. This is good. However, the names most beloved to Allah are ‘Abd Allah and ‘Abd al-Rahman; these are the names most beloved to Allah. It is permissible to use the form “servant of” with other names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted, such as ‘Abd al-Ghaffar, ‘Abd al-Qahhar, there is no harm; ‘Abd al-Jabbar, ‘Abd al-Aziz, al-Karim, there is no harm in that. The important thing is that the name is established for Allah; if it is established, there is no barrier to worshipping through that name. Yes. As for al-Mutallib, no, but this is a pre-Islamic name, not an Islamic name; it is a pre-Islamic name. Al-Mutallib was originally ‘Abd al-Mutallib. His original name was the son of Hashim; al-Mutallib was the son of Hashim. When his brother brought him from Madinah, because his brother was the maternal grandfather of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and his maternal relatives were from Madinah from the Banu al-Najjar, when his brother brought him from Madinah and they were traveling, the boy’s skin became dark, so they thought he was a slave. They called him ‘Abd al-Mutallib, and ‘Abd al-Mutallib was ashamed of this name for this reason, meaning al-Mutallib was his brother.
