Man I so badly would love to have a kunya,

Like I so love Abu Bakr and the most beautiful that I seen Abu Hurayra that isa nice one, but I dont know any arabic words that describe me or anything that sounds cool.

anyone got a website? or some of their own opinions?
 
:salamext:

u can have a kunya from ur son's or daughters name...
like Abu haneefa, Abu Ahmad, Abu Ameenah, ......whatever ur kids name are, just put the word..."abu" behind and u can have a kunya.

:wasalamex
 
Yea but I dont have kids yet,

Plus I want a discriptive one, like Ali's one was a discription, and abu Hurayra was a discription type.

Thats the type I want
 
The kunyah is a nickname which starts with Abu (father of) or Umm (mother of).​
​
​

It usually includes the name of the oldest son. It may also be just a nickname, as in the example given in the question, since Abu Bakr did not have any child whose name was Bakr.​


The nickname may be given because of something that is unique to that person, such as Abu Hurayrah (lit. father of the kitten). The Prophet
saws-2.gif
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave him this nickname because he would often carry a cat or kitten with him.​


Another example is the nickname Abu Turaab (father of dust) which was the kunyah of ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him). The Prophet
saws-2.gif
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) gave him this nickname when he saw him with dust on his back and shoulders.

Assalamu Aleykum,

it was that link that reminded me about my wanting a name like Abu Huryara's
 
^ Why dont you just pick a word which you think describes you? Then take it as a kunyah. If you dont know the word in Arabic ask one of the members to translate it for you.

I will inshaAllah, but I also want it to sound cool, like Abu Hurayrah, that is so cool and the meaning is cool too, argh.

plus I dont reall know how to describe myself, I mean I dont know any qualities I have.
 
As Salaamu Alaykum

^^ You don't need to pick something that describes you, You could choose a name you Like and stick "Abu" at the front!! :)

Of course I'd love that, plus that way, I personally feel is more honest, it woud feel abit bigheaded if I gave myself a nice description! :p


and sister I dont have a site nope, u got one?
 
lol...I have had a kuniyah since birth.

I think it's Bangladeshi tradition to have a Kuniyah. It must have been passed down from our Arabian Ancestors (don't forget that Bangladesh became a Muslim country because of the ancestors who migrated to spread the deen)...

But Iqram is mine...Much better than my nasty real name...

Don't ask, I wont say cos of some people lol
 
erm you should know me.

Im ex-christian, hobbies, hadeeth clasification, sports, general islamic or religious knowledge, study of prophets and scholars.

I dont have much of a life outside ISlam lol
 
:salamext:


Abu football/soccer? :p lol nah erm.. what about naming yourself something that you would want to name your first son (insha'Allaah) i.e. Abu AbdulRahman etc? :)
 
:sl:

Maybe, Abu Ikhlaas.., (Ikhlaas = sincere) because youve struck me as being very sincere in all your posts Mashallah :)

:w:
