Bad names

(no, im not being serious for all those hasty conclusion makers out there)

ffended: you evil so and so and so .... and so


i didnt even bother reading the rest of ur paragraph after reading that first sentence

oooh i forgot to tell that the malay spelling is different than the english spelling.

so the pronounciation should be different

for example

sy (malay) = sh (english)
su (malay) = soe (english)

and i'll add later

^And c (malay)= ch (english)

Can a Muslim name their kids as "Malak", " Mu`jizah"?

mu'3jizah sounds wrong allahu alam... coz u cant lie in names... for example the prophet told that mother to not call her daughter 'barrah' coz its attributing a fake attribute that only Allah can judge with.

as for malak... ive headr of ppl with angel names like 'jibreel' (sheikh muhammad jibreel for xample) but ALLAHU ALAM if its ok or not.. better ask scholars insahlah

personally i dont like it.. malak sounds too rigid lol. can also be taken as 'king'.. in which case i prefer 'ameer'

Malak (Angel), for me it might sound nice but it's like we describing the person as angel ...... right... (and angel are obedient to God and sinless, not like human)

Isn't king Malik though?

What does Mu'3jizah mean? Btw I think I read on islam-qa that angels are not haram but makrooh, cant really remember though.

^ u might be right, i thought malak is also another form of 'malik' (king).. which also means angel depending on context.

but regardless, i think dere's better boy names than malak lol.

mu'3jizah means 'miracle'.

tc


ps:

oh those hayawaan songs are haram coz of the promiscuity they promote.

not sure about the 'ur my angel phrase' assuming its mahram saying it 2mahram... sounds cute but not sure

But can a human being call another as "Angel"...

It's makrooh not haram:

It is makrooh to use the name Malak or Malaak, and what you should do is change the name to one that is good and is not regarded as makrooh in sharee’ah.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about giving the names Abraar, Malaak, Eemaan and Jibreel.

He replied: The names Abraar, Malaak, Eemaan and Jibreel should not be used. End quote from Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (3/67).
