Is it permissible for a Muslim to be named "Moon of the Prophets"?
It is disliked to be named with names that are attributed to prophets or the Messenger, such as "Qamar al-Anbiya" (Moon of the Prophets), because they involve commendation, falsehood, and deception, based on the hadith of changing the name "Barrah" to "Zaynab", and due to his (peace be upon him) saying: "The most hated name to Allah is that of a man who called himself Malik al-Amlak (King of Kings)."
Other names are also disliked or forbidden, including: 1. Names that imply servitude to other than Allah, such as "Abd al-Rasul" (Servant of the Messenger). 2. Names that are exclusive to Allah the Almighty, such as "Al-Rahman" (The Most Merciful). 3. Names with a blameworthy meaning, such as "Harb" (War). 4. Names that have no meaning, such as "Zouzou". 5. Names that involve self-commendation, such as "Barrah" (Pious).
