Is it permissible to use the names of Allah (Asma' Allah al-Husna) or acts of remembrance (adhkar) as usernames on social media platforms?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in using the aforementioned adhkar as usernames in forums, as they are not real names. However, the phrase "Dhikr Allah bil Jannah" (Remembrance of Allah in Paradise) is weak in construction. It can be modified to "Dhikr Allah Tareeq al-Jannah" (Remembrance of Allah is the Path to Paradise) or "Dhikr Allah Jannat ad-Dunya" (Remembrance of Allah is the Paradise of this World).
