How to Choose a Name for your Child with Date of Birth

Rulings About Naming the Child in Islam

The basic ruling regarding names is permissible. Nothing of them are prohibited nor disliked except what implies a meaning that entails prohibition or being disliked, such as the names that imply enslavement to other than ALLAH The Almighty and are thus prohibited, or the names that imply commendation and are thus disliked. The name “Aayah” does not imply a meaning that is prohibited according to Islam and thus there is nothing wrong with using it as a name.

Aayah linguistically means “sign” and everything in this universe is one of the signs of ALLAH The Almighty that indicate His absolute power and greatness, and humans are one of those signs.

Finally, it is more appropriate for the Muslim to choose for his children the names of the Prophets, and of the male and female companions and righteous predecessors.
