Re: Names for Boys...
i asked my grandfather who knows a lot about islam, and also read up on it myself, and what i read was that you're allowed to name your kids after angels. however, there are certain words in islam that you are NOT allowed to use as names because their meaning is only known to Allah - two of them that i remember are "Taha" and "Yaseen" -- which was very surprising to me cos i've known people named that and i thought they were quite common boy's names, but then i confirmed that with my grandfather again and he agreed they were not allowed.
bibi .. aap ko ghalat famili (intended) ho gayi hai .. Taha is a very mubarak naam. It's among the 99 names of the last Prophet (SAW), and it's also the name of a sura in Quran. :)
Re: Names for Boys...
yes, i know its the name of the surah and thats what it referred to, in fact, and thats why i remember them because both taha and yaseen are the beginnings of surah's... there are, i believe, seven words who's meaning only Allah knows and that are forbidden to be used as names.
also, the Prophet PBUH was in another league entirely so i'm not surprised they are both two of his 99 names but yet we're still forbidden from using them.
this is what i read...
Manners of naming your Muslim child
Yoosef ibn Abdullaah al-Arafee
Just as it is disliked to name with the names of soorahs of the Qur'an such as: TaaHaa, Yaaseen and other names of soorahs. This is the saying of Imaam Maalik- rahimahullaah- Ibnul- Qayyim also said: "The saying of the common people that Yaaseen and TaaHaa are from the names of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is not correct, there is no 'saheeh' hadeeth about it or any 'hasan' hadeeth, nor anything 'mursal', nor any narration from any Companion, but rather they are letters like 'Alif Laam Meem', 'HaaMeem', 'Alif Laam Raa' and the like".
in the end though, i firmly believe, everyone needs to do their own research and find their own proof.

also, the Prophet PBUH was in another league entirely so if they are part of his 99 names then i'm not surprised they are both two of his 99 names but yet we're still forbidden from using them. and this is confusing, i admit, cos some people say they are and some people say they aren't... where could i find a correct list of the names of Prophet PBUH? i didn't see them in my english-translation version of the Quran.

This website tells you quite a bit about how to name your child, and there’s also a part (you have to scroll waaaaay down lol) that says naming your child after an Angel is makrooh.
Oooh, i never knew that Yaseen isn’t allowed, i know someone wtih this name too lol.
