Is Muhammad Ismail ur Rahman a Good Islamic Name for a Boy?
Question
can we keep Muhammad Ismail ur Rehman name for a boy?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
Yes, Muhammad Ismail al-Rahman is a permissible name, because Muhammad is the blessed name of the Prophet īˇē and Ismail is the name of Prophet Ismail (peace be upon him). However, al-Rahman is one of the exclusive names of Allah, so it is preferable to choose names such as Abdur Rahman or Muhammad Ismail Abdur Rahman. Nevertheless, if the intention is simply to give a good Islamic name, Muhammad Ismail is an excellent and blessed choice.
