Is it a sin in Islam to not give your baby an arabic name, but give them a different unique one?
for me, its ok if u not give your baby in arabic name. Its just show your family is muslim. My brother will have a baby after this and he want to give her/his baby in unique name.
Reply:well it doesnt matter if it is arabic as long as it is islamic.. and it depends on the unique one u want to give him or her.. it cannot be any western name though..
Reply:whats wrong with arabe muslim names?


but you can choose any name
Reply:Islam is not The Religion for the Arabs only ... and there is no sin to call your baby any name except the names which contains any kind of polytheism by God ...





And what about the non Arab Muslims ... ?


Of course they can use the names which they know in their cultures ... not the Arab names ...
Reply:I was given a non-arabic name, Azul, which means blue in French. I am so thankful for that as I grew despising people who confuse Islam and Arab. Islam itself is very open for non-Arabs and to assume that Arabic names as being more Islamic than other names in other languages would be presumptuous and un-Islamic.





While people may choose to have Arabic names, I would personally not name my future children any Arabic name to clean Islam from the mistaken notion of being a religion for Arabs.





My friend has named his child Muhammad Jesus Nur Fahad, which I find beautiful.
Reply:I'm muslim and this is my answer:


You can choose ANY name, but you should know its MEANING; so you don't choose Islam contrary name.


I'm sorry because I can't speak English well!
