In Islam, one cannot just randomly select a baby name. Prophet Muhammad had clearly mentioned in the Hadith that on the day of Judgement, people would be called by their and their mother’s name. Hence, he ordained parents to give noble names to their children. He also instructed the parents to change the names if they later find the meanings to be insignificant or unpleasant. Even the scholar and veterans opine that the name of a person has a direct influence on his character.
In Islam, it’s also recommended to honor the messengers and prophets of God by naming the children after them. These muslim names will not just bring blessings to the child, but will also inspire him to lead a righteous life. This explains the popularity of the name Muhammad in the world.
Finding an Islamic name that fulfills all these qualities will not be easy. And it’s here that MomJunction will come to your aid. Below is our comprehensive collection of interesting and catchy muslim baby boy & girl names along with their meanings.
