Dream - The name given by parents to their child is not just an identity. But there is meaning and prayer in it that becomes the greatest hope of parents. However, every parent should choose the best name for their child. Especially in Islam, there are many Islamic names for boys and girls. One of them is taken from the Quran. Those names have very beautiful meanings. In fact, they will become the pride of parents and their children in the future. Well, here are the best names for children in Islam as summarized by Dream through various sources.

Allah SWT said, "O Zakaria, indeed We give you glad tidings of a son whose name is Yahya, a name We have not created anyone similar to before." (QS. Maryam: 7) Through the above verse, it tells that Allah SWT Himself gave the name for the son of Prophet Zakaria, which is the name Yahya. The meaning of this name is 'something very important'. This story shows how important it is for parents to give a good name to their children. In fact, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) advised to change someone's name if it has a negative meaning.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Verily, the name that is most beloved to Allah Azza wa Jalla is Abdullah and Abdur Rahman." (Narrated by Muslim) Furthermore, from another narration, it is explained, "There was a man among you whose child was born, and he named him al-Qasim. We said, 'We do not want to call you Abul Qasim,' and the news of this did not reach the Prophet (peace be upon him). So he said, 'Name your child Abdur Rahman.'" In addition, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also recommended to parents to give their children names from the names of the prophets and righteous people. He said,

For example, giving names of disbelieving individuals, names of demons, names that contain evil, and names of people with bad morals. Names like Fir'aun, Latta, and Uzza. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, the most hated name by Allah is someone named Malakul Amlak (king of kings)." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)
