What is you Kunya?

[FollowingAlhuda]

Assalamo Aleikom,

We all know it is a sunnan to have a kunya.
Whats yours?

For the ones that do not know:
Even though you do not have a child you can call yoursel Oum or Abu

Mine is Oum Haneefa

Wassalam

[SUMMAYAH]

salams sister.

I have three children, so do I have to choose the eldest ones name for my kunya? or does it not matter?

[FollowingAlhuda]

The most choose the oldest child's name.

But there are not rules consurning this.
A example is Abu Hurayra. Hurayra means letterly cittens. He loved kittens and he was named the father of the cittens.

Soo what's yours?

[SUMMAYAH]

Oum Muhammad.
does that sound right?

NoNo sister hahaha i think youn funny. You have it all wrong.

Oke pic a name that you like. And put front of it Oum.

Example:

I want to name my child later Haneefa. So my kunya is Oum-Haneefa.

Some have allready got children, the most pic the name of their oldest child.

Abu Abdullah,

cos my son's name is Abdullah. nice and simple.

assalaamu alaykum,
Abu Abdullah

[FollowingAlhuda]

One of the most beloved names in the sight of Allah

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:wasalamex
My kunya is Umm 'Abdullah... although that's quite obvious. I picked it because 'Abdullah is one of the names that is most beloved to Allah, as you have already stated.:)

It doesn't have to be the name of your child.:) I believe the kunyah of Imam Bukhari (rh) was Abu 'Abdullah though he didn't have a son by that name, I think.

Yes it doesn't have to perse.. But it can be!

:sl:

Yeh, I know. But I'm not really interested in having one, though I will have one by default when I have a kid inshaallah lol so yeh.

[BlissfullyJaded]

:sl:

I'd choose one, but I know whatever I say my kids name is gonna be, I most probably won't name him/her that anyway, since I keep finding new names I like. And having a kunya will make me sound way older, so er yeah, I always skip on it.

Although one like Abu Hurayrah and Abu Turab which is descriptive and interesting is nice.

[Re.TiReD]

what does turab mean? isnt it soil/earth? :w:

[BlissfullyJaded]

:sl:

Oops, I didn't see this until now. I'm sorry. Yes, it does mean that.

It was given to Sayyidina 'Ali (Radiallahu Anhu) when Sayyidina Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) saw him sleeping on the ground with his back covered in dust. Sayyidina Rasulullah (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) started removing the dust and woke him up addressing him as Abu Turab.

So yeah, thats the story behind the name.

[Re.TiReD]

SubhanAllah! :) btw cant a kunya be Bint something or Ibn something?? or is it always Umm and Abu?
