Meaning

“Servant of al-Jadd”

جد کا بندہ

Scholars dislike this name

The name means 'servant of al-Jadd', and al-Jadd is not one of Allah's names. Scholars hold that a person may only be called the servant ('Abd') of Allah or one of His names. A Companion carried it from before Islam, but that does not make it a good choice today.

اس نام کا مطلب ہے 'الجد کا بندہ'، اور الجد اللہ کے ناموں میں سے نہیں۔ علماء کے نزدیک 'عبد' صرف اللہ یا اس کے کسی نام کے ساتھ لگانا چاہیے۔ ایک صحابی کا یہ نام اسلام سے پہلے کا تھا، اس لیے آج یہ نام رکھنا مناسب نہیں۔

Better choice: Abdul Jalil
