What's in giving our kids name? We want the barakah of Allah and of course, our kids to turn out well as what is in each name given.
Alhamdulillah, for both ibn and bint, their names were given by Almarhum Habib Ahmad Semait and Ustaz Syed Isa Alkaff respectively upon request from zauji and myself. Insya Allah, we would also like to get berkah from the 'ulama.
What I have learnt from my experience in seeking names from the 'ulama:
1.Cooperate with them - they may ask the names of your family members.
2.Redha with the choice of name/s selected for the child.
3.Insya Allah, the name brings ease and not a burden to the child nor the parents. In addition may our children are as 'alim as the person who gave their names.
Dear ibn, your name means the Chosen One. Your other name is Mahmud. Your names were given after Habib Ahmad got to know both Abi's and Ummi's names. May Allah choose you to be one of His greatest Khalifah.
Dear bint, your name means Beauty, Nice. Your other name is Zubaidah(after your maternal) grandmother. Your names were given after Ustaz Syed Hussin Alkaff got to know the names of your both grandmothers(Zubaidah and Ainon) and also paternal great grandmother(Maimunah). May Allah make you beautiful in everything especially imaan, taqwa, akhlaq and amalan.
Finally, may both of you be the best of the ummah. Ameen.
Ummu Mukhtaar and Zainah
