Modern male Muslim names have come a long and winding path of formation. Currently, they are a special mixture of Arabic, Turkish, Persian and other nicknames. Such a mixture was caused not only by historical processes (for example, wars or the development of new lands), but also by religious trends.
A sufficient part of the names was formed in the pre-Islamic era, when the main borrowing came from the Arabic language. However, they became Muslim only thanks to the influence of the people who wore them. Further, with the adoption and wide spread of religion of Islam, many nicknames were borrowed from the Holy Scriptures. Until now, the Muslim names of men have been replenished with new ones, which gives parents the opportunity to have a wide choice of names for their child.
But this is a fairly complicated process! There is a proverb "As you call a ship, it will sail." In relation to this situation, we can say that choosing modern men's Muslim names, great attention should be paid to their interpretation. The nickname leaves its mark on the personality and character of the person. That is why even the most harmonious names, meaning negative quality, will either be rarely used or will be banned altogether.
As in many other cultures, boys are usually nicknamed beautiful, kind and harmonious. This is intended to protect them from evil deeds and all sorts of misfortunes, as well as give blessing and long life.
There is a list of modern male Muslim names that are not approved by Sharia, are prohibited for use. They are determined by a number of requirements and features. We list some of them:
- You can not give boys nicknames associated with surahs from the Holy Scriptures, the names of Angels.
- You can not take any of the names of Allah.
- The nicknames of despots and tyrants, as well as enemies of Islam, are strictly prohibited.
- Indiscreet names are not recommended. For example, Hiam is "passionate in love."
- You can not call boys nicknames with an unfavorable meaning. For example, meaning pity, belligerence or offensive language.
Modern male Muslim names are not only pleasant to hear, but also favorably influence the fate of a person. After all, a boy, and later a man, is a support to parents, the heir to the clan in which life continues. Scientists even conducted studies that showed that the vast majority of Muslims wear the nicknames of their ancestors, which undoubtedly characterizes their respectful attitude to their family and traditions.
