Is it permissible to name a newborn "Thanaullah"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no objection to naming a newborn "Thanā' Allah" (Praise of Allah), as it does not contain any bad meaning or religious prohibition. Many scholars, both past and present, have been given this name. However, it is preferable to use names such as 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman, as the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the most beloved of your names to Allah are 'Abdullah and 'Abdur-Rahman."
