AZAN\/ADHAN<\/a><\/strong>
\nAccording to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) right after the birth of a child one should read azan into his right ear.
\nHazrat Abu Rafi\u2019 said: \u201cI saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reading azan into Imam Hussein\u2019s(A.S.) ear after Bibi Fatima (A.S.) had born him\u201d (the holy ahadith from Abu Daud and at-Tirmizhi; \u201chassan\u201d, \u201csahih\u201d.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHazrat Al-Bayhaqy transmitted the following hadith:\u201d Djinn Ummus-sibyan will not harm the child, if the father reads azan in the child\u2019s right ear. (hadith from al-Hassan ibn \u2018Ali).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe following hadith was narrated by Hazrat Ibn \u2018Abbas:\u201d On the birthday of al-Hassan ibn \u2018Ali (the son of \u2018Ali, Prophet Muhammad\u2019s grandson) the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) read azan in his right ear.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe present conditions are very important, for Divine and sacred words should be the first words that a child hears. These words symbolize the greatness of the Creator, Allah is the Most Highest, and contain the main formula of monotheism, the recognition of which makes man a Muslim. From this very moment the words of azan and ikamat should accompany the child throughout his life, helping him and elucidating his path.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt is also known that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) pronounced the surah \u201cal-Ikhlas\u201d in the ear of a new-born child (the holy ahadith from Ibn Razzin).<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n3. PREPARING THE CHILD TO TAKE THE BREAST.<\/strong>
\nAccording to Shariat it is recommended first of all to put into the baby\u2019s mouth a thoroughly chewed date. It is done in the following way. The mother (for example) chews the date thoroughly and then she takes a part of the mass with her finger and puts it into the child\u2019s mouth. Then she massages with light movements of her fingers to the right and to the left the child\u2019s mouth cavity so that the chewed mass spreads evenly. For the lack of a date one can use any other sweet provisions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe point is that this action strengthens the muscles of the mouth cavity and helps to prepare the child to take the breast, so that the child may suck breast milk to the best advantage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThis recommendation is based on the following examples from the Prophetic Tradition.
\nHazrat Abu Mussa narrated: \u201dI was given a son. I went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Prophet Muhammad named him Ibrahim. Then, after putting a chewed date on his finger he put the finger into my son\u2019s mouth. Then he prayed to the Lord for a blessing and gave the child to me\u201d (the holy ahadith from al-Bukhari and Muslim).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe following story is known due to Anas ibn Malik:\u201dI brought my new-born son Abu Talhi to Prophet Muhammad , and asked:\u201d Do you have dates?\u201d I answered:\u201d Yes, I do\u201d. And I gave them to Prophet Muhammad ,which was chewed and then put the chewed mass in the baby\u2019s mouth and massaged gently his mouth cavity. The Prophet called him \u2018Abdullah\u201d (the holy ahadith from al-Bukhari and Muslim).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n4. SHAVING THE NEW-BORN CHILD\u2019S HEAD.<\/strong>
\nAfter seven days after the birth of the baby it is recommended (mustahab), according to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), to shave the child\u2019s head and distribute silver or gold as alms; the weight of the alms should account for the weight of the hair shaved.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTalking about the advisability of shaving the child\u2019s head and giving alms in silver (or in its money equivalent) the scholars of Islamic law refer to the following ahadith.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHazrath Imam Malik transmits from his father Dja\u2019far ibn Muhammad in his book: \u201dBibi Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) weighed the hair of Hassan, Hussain, Zainab and Ummu Kulsum and gave as alms a certain amount of silver and gold, the weight of which was equal to the weight of this hair\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt is known from Imam \u2018Ali ibn Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that \u201cProphet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) offered a sheep after Imam Hussain\u2019s birth and said: \u201cFatimah, cut his hair and give as alms some silver, the weight of which would be equal to one dirham or a part of a dirham\u201d (the holy ahadith from al-Hakim).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFrom Hazrath Anas ibn Malik we know that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered to cut the hair of his grandsons Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain on the seventh day after their birth. After cutting their hair some silver was given as alms, and the weight of the silver was equal to the weight of the hair that was cut.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n5.\u00a0AQEEQAH & GIVING A NAME, Islamic Names<\/strong>
\nIn Islam a great attention is paid to the choice of the name for a new-born child. Islamic naming of the child is very vital step which has many effects.
\nHazrat Samurah (RA) transmits the following words of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):\u201dEvery child is held in pledge for his Aqeeqah, which is scarified for him on seventh day. On the same day the child is given a name and his head is shaved\u201d (the hadith is adduced in the five out of the six authentic ahadith collections, as well as in the holy ahadith from al-Hakim and al-Bayhaqy. AL-Tirmidhee believed that the hadith was \u201csahih\u201d).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\nProphet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Ordered that child be named on the seventh day, that the harm be removed from him and the sacrifice (Al-Tirmidhee)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt becomes clear from the hadith that the name can be given on the seventh day after the birth of the child.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThere are, however, other authentic ahadith which indicate that the name can be given to the child on the very day of his birth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHazrat Anas told: Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \u201cThis night I have been given a son, I gave him the name of my ancestor – Ibrahim\u201d (the holy ahadith from imam Muslim).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt follows from the above mentioned ahadith that there is no strict date for naming: a child can be named either on his birthday or on the seventh day after his birth.
\nThe right choice of the name for a child is one of the issues requiring special attention on the part of the parents.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHazrat Abu Daud transmits from Abu ad-Darda\u2019: \u201d Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \u201dVerily, on the Last Day you will be called by your names and by the names of your fathers. Give beautiful names to your children!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHazrat Ibn \u2018Umar transmits the following words: \u201dThe Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \u201dVerily, the best names in Allah\u2019s insight are \u2018Abdullah (God\u2019s slave) and \u2018Abdu rahman (the slave of the Merciful)\u201d (the holy ahadith from imam Muslim).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt should be noted that the names that comprise the word \u201c\u2019abd\u201d (a slave) combined with one of Allah\u2019s beautiful names are the most favourable names in God\u2019s insight: \u2018Abdur-Razzak (the slave of the One who gives nutrition), \u2018Abdul-Malik (the slave of the Allah).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAnother hadith mentions that it is advisable to name children by the names of prophets and angels. The name of God\u2019s Last Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is especially honored. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: \u201cName your children with the names of Prophets\u201d; \u201cGive my name to your children, but do not give them my nickname\u201d(the hadith was transmitted by Abu Nu\u2019yam).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nHazrat Imam Malik said: \u201dI heard the people of Medina say that every house where there was a man called Muhammad had a special destiny\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt should be always born in mind that a man being responsible for a child should also make certain that the child is not given a name destroying his dignity and exposing him to mockery. At-Tirmizhi transmits a story from \u2018Bibi Aisha (may the Lord be pleased with her). According to this story the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) changed strange-sounding names. It is transmitted from Ibn \u2018Umar that \u2018Umar\u2019s daughter was named \u2018Assiya (disobedient, rebellious), and the Prophet gave her the name Djamilya (beautiful).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt is forbidden to name children by the names that are typical of the Creator only, for example, Ahad (The Only One), Halik (the Creator), etc. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)said: \u201cOn the Day of Judgment the Lord will be most angry with the man whose name is Malikul-Amlyak (the Possessor of all possessions). There is no Possessor other than the Lord, Allah is the Most Highest\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIt is prohibited to give the names which underline obedience to somebody or something other than the Allah. For example: \u2019Abdul-Ka\u2019ba (the slave of Kaaba), \u2018Abdun-Nabi (the slave of the Prophet), \u2018Abdur-Rassul (the slave of the Apostle).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe Islamic names system<\/strong> of naming is follows:
\nFirstly It is essential that one attributes his or her lineage to his or her biological father. by having their second name as son of so and so and daughter of so and so The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever calls himself by other than his father\u2019s name (or attributes himself to someone other than his father), will be cursed by Allah, the angels and all the people.” (Reported by Ibn Maajah, 2599; see also Saheeh al-Jaami\u2019, 6104).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allaah has cursed the one who claims to belong to someone other than his father.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad and others).
\nThe Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever claims knowingly to belong to someone other than his father will be denied Paradise.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari and Muslim, Fath, no. 3982). He also said: “Whoever claims to belong to someone other than his father, will be cursed by Allaah, the angels and all the people, and Allaah will not accept any deeds or excuses from him on the Day of Resurrection.” (Reported by Muslim, may Allaah have mercy on him, in his Saheeh, no. 2433).
\nNarrated from Abu Dharr, who heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “There is no one who knowingly calls himself after someone other than his father, but he is guilty of Kufr”\u00a0(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3371; Muslim, 61).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTIPS & WARNINGS for Islamic Names<\/strong>
\nAbdul before a male name means servant of. For example, Kareem means generous and noble, so the name Abdul-Kareem means servant of the noble.
\nKeep in mind that these names come from various parts of the country and can be derived from different cultures. The spellings and meaning may vary slightly from region to region – check with your family or other resources if this is important in naming your child.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
