Zubair ibn al-awam (ra) named his children after martyrs, so that perhaps they too would be awarded martyrdom by Allah the Almighty.. Abdullah was named after Abdullah bin Jahsh (ra); Munzir was named after Munzir bin Amr (ra); Urwah was named after Urwah bin Mas‘ud (ra); Hamza was named after Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib (ra); Jafar was named after Jafar bin Abi Talib (ra); Mus‘ab was named after Mus‘ab bin Umair (ra); Ubaidah was named after Ubaidah bin Harith (ra); Khalid was named after Khalid bin Saeed (ra); Amr was named after Amr bin Saeed (ra).. Amr bin Saeed (ra) was martyred in the Battle of Yarmuk. 📚 (al-Tabaqaat-ul-Kubra li ibn Sa‘d, Vol. 3, p. 74, Zubair(ra) bin al-Awwam, Dar-ul-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, Beirut, 1990)

The effect of a good name on the child

What is the reason in Islam, we should give our child a good name? Indeed, while we are giving a good name on the child, it is one of a good deed in Islam. This good deed also gets many rewards. Below the following here The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said in this hadith.

Evidence:

“Whoever starts working on good deeds in Islam, then he will get the reward and reward of the person who imitates the act.” 📚(Muslim)

*Points to Consider When Naming a Child in Islam:*

It is good to pay attention to a number of matters when giving names to our children, including the following:

➡️ Recognizing the fact that this name will stay with the person for his entire lifetime, and it could cause some embarrassment or problems for him or her which in turn could make him or her feel badly towards his/her father, mother or whoever gave the name.

➡️ When looking at names in order to choose one, we should look at it from a number of angles. We should look at the name itself, and also think of how it will sound when this person is a child, a youth, an adult, an old man and a father, and how it will suit his father to be called “Abu” (Father of) So and So, and how it will suit his son to be called Son and so son of So and So, etc.

➡️ Choosing the name is the right of the father, because he is the one after whom the child will be named (son of, or daughter of…). But it is mustahabb for the father to involve the mother in the decision and to ask for her opinion as to whether she thinks the name is good, so that she will feel happy.

➡️ The child must be named after his father even if the father is deceased or divorced, etc., even if he does not take care of the child or see him at all. It is utterly haram to name a child after anyone other than his father, except in one case, which is when the child is born as the result of adultery (Allah forbid). In this case the child should be named after his mother and it is not permissible to name him after his father.

*The right time to give a name:*

When we as the parent should give a name to our child in Islam? One of the right time to give a name on a child is when the baby is born. Yes. Below the following is a hadith that tells us about when a baby from a friend of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) born. He brought his baby to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and then he gave the baby a good name, Ibrahim.

“My son was born, then I brought him to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). And then he gave him the name Ibrahim (Abu Musa’s eldest son), he fed him with chewing dates and prayed for them blessedly, after that he gave them to me.” 📚(Bukhari)
