The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) recommended that Muslims should be
selective in the names of their children as part of the identity of a
Muslim. He recommended that the most beautiful names are those which
give servitude or praise to Allah.
Combinations of various names is a matter of personal liking and
choice. Names of Allah should never be used alone. These should always
be preceded by Abdul or should be combined with another name in such a
way that the final name does not remain a specific attribute of Allah.
