Islamic Ruling & Answer

Verified

“Ahad” Allah Ta‘ala ke Asma-ul-Husna mein se ek khaas naam hai jiska matlab “Ek aur Be-misaal” hai. Shariyat mein Allah ke naamon ka adab aur ehtram zaroori hai, is liye jab kisi insan ka naam “Abdul Ahad” ho to usko poore naam se pukarna hi behtar aur munasib tareeqa hai, kyun ke iska matlab hota hai “Ahad (Allah) ka banda.” Sirf “Ahad” keh kar kisi insan ko pukarna adab ke khilaf samjha jata hai, kyun ke yeh Allah ka khaas naam hai aur uska istemal tanha insani naam ke taur par confusion ya be-adabi ka shubah paida kar sakta hai. Is liye sharai nuqta-e-nazar se na to is mein koi gunaah hai jo insan ko gunahgar bana de, lekin behtar aur mustahsan tareeqa yahi hai ke poora naam “Abdul Ahad” hi use kiya jaye ya phir koi aur normal nickname rakha jaye jo Allah ke mubarak naam se takraav na rakhta ho.
