Some scholars have explicitly stated the dislike (Karahah) of naming with any name appended to the majestic word "Allah," unless it implies servitude, such as "Abdullah" (Servant of Allah). As for names that do not imply servitude, such as "Dayfallah" (Guest of Allah), they are disliked. Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd mentioned that names like "Hasabullah" (Sufficiency of Allah) and "Rahmatullah" (Mercy of Allah) are disliked, and that Arabs and Muslims in the early days of Islam were not familiar with such appended names. Therefore, a Muslim is advised to avoid naming with them from the outset.
