5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference for the new muslim parent.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dictionary of Muslim Names (Hardcover)
The comprehensive and authentic approach offered by this book is unparallel to any other that I have seen. Full marks go to the author, who has included many Quranic/Arabic/Persian muslim names for both boys and girls. This book is a must if you are a new parent, and consequently pulling your hair out trying to think of a suitable muslim name for your newborn. Further reference to the meaning of these names make this text a good read even for the general public. Do you know what your name means? Certainly a book to be passed on with inhertance!

This review is from: The Dictionary of Muslim Names (Paperback)
Finally a good book of Muslim names. Gives, name, meaning and how to pronounce. Good quality binding and therefore durable as you pass it from one person to the next!
EDIT (June 2010)...my review above was from 2003. Now I agree with some reviewers that there are a number of websites that provide the same (or better) info on-line....no need to buy.

not all muslim names...,
By M. Bulla "Amatullah" (Helwan, Cairo, Egypt) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Dictionary of Muslim Names (Paperback)
many of these names are urdu/hindi names. non-arabic speaking muslims may not know that they are picking an not necessarily islamic name for their child.
yes - there are many websites available for name now - but MANY are inaccurate in regards to meaning and origin.
