The ruling on naming oneself after the Party of Allah

Question:
This questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! What is the ruling on one who named his son the Party of Allah? My father named me the Party of Allah, and I am twenty-nine years old, and I work as a doctor. I heard that this name is disliked, so should I change my name? Please advise us, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
The name is strange. The Party of Allah are the people of obedience and faith, the people of obedience and faith and piety. If you are among the people of faith, then you are of the Party of Allah, and if you are other than that, then you are not of the Party of Allah. So if you change it, that is good, if Allah wills. If you change it to Abdullah instead of the Party of Allah, that is good. Abdullah, or Abd al-Rahman, or Abd al-Karim, or Abd al-Malik, or something like that, that is good. Because you are certifying the Party of Allah, and there may be something of self-certification in that, and you do not know whether you are of the Party of Allah or not? This is dangerous. And changing it to Abdullah or Abd al-Rahman would be better, if Allah wills.
