You may be in the process of having a baby – or becoming an aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc.

Whatever the case may be, the birth of a child brings great joy not only to the parents, but also to the whole extended family.

Parenthood is one of the most blessed gifts that Allah SWT bestows upon his servants.

One of the most difficult decisions Parents’ face is choosing a suitable name for their child.

Hours are spent around coffee and dining tables, discussing and debating different names proposed by members of the family.

Many more hours are spent on Google, trying to find the meanings of certain names and ensuring that they are of a virtuous nature.

Islamic Relief has compiled two guides: Muslim Boys Names & Muslim Girls Names to assist you in this difficult process.

We have researched and listed over 4500 boys names and 4500 girls names, which are of a religious and Islamic cultural nature.

Our hope is that you find use in them and are able to pinpoint a name, which sounds good and has a beautiful meaning as well.

We are grateful for the support of donors over the last 31 years and we hope and pray that this support will continue in the future.

In celebration of the birth of your child, please consider giving Sadaqah and possibly Sponsoring An Orphan. Islamic Relief takes care of 43,000 orphans worldwide.
