Not sure if this has been discussed b4! if it has.then sorry for bringing it up AGAIN!!
are there certain names that we should NOT name a child? There is one name that I want to ask about. Malaika.Meaning angel. My little girl is called Malaika. But lately I've had someone say that we should not have named her this. what do you guys think?
Malayka as u said means angel, an angel is pure/innocent one that doesn't commit any sins and isn't capable of doing so. It's a beautiful name.
Names should be kept after great personalties with the intention of your child being like that personality well rather trying to follow in their footsteps.
so I should change it? But it's not a name of an angel.
live and let live!!!!!!!
[color=indigo][b]Sis keep the name, i'm sure its permitted but get it checked out if u wana be sure Insha'allah.[/b][/color]
No don't change it. It may not be the name of a person but it is of a creation of Allah (swt), a creation that is superior and pure.
Jazakallah sisters!
live and let live!!!!!!!
No worries
names such as jibreel and mikaeel are allowed for boys, so i don't see why malaika shouldn't be allowed. but my bro made a good point recently - Allah made human beings the greatest of creation: whilst angels have no choice but to obey Allah, we do it out of choice and our own free will, so its better to be named after a famous pious muslim than an angel.
i still like the angels' names though.

Yeah that is a valid point, last time MS mentioned that humans can become superior than angels and that is when they submit themselves to Allah (swt) and abstain from sins etc. So yeah a name of a pious personality would be better than being called an angel. However being called an angel is nice (I would know
).
I was reading some baby names last night….
My new favs are…
Boys
-Raihaan
-Raiyaan.
Girls
-Aliyah
-Alisha
My son is called Rehan. Is that the same as Raihan? meaning a sweet smelling plant?
live and let live!!!!!!!
It might just be my spelling Sis...I think its the same name.
Raiyaan, is a sweet name too...it means "extreme satisfaction"-its the name of the Gate that fasters will enter Paradise.
My cuz is called Rehan but people put emphasis on his name like the second way u wrote up Raihan as opposed to the "E" sound which we normally call him by.
