Book Description

October 1997
An authoritative reference and the best-selling handbook available for parents today on Muslim names and Birth customs. Offering over 2,500 names for Muslim boys and girls from Arabic, Persian, and Turkish heritage, this compendium of names serves as an ideal and invaluable source for parents who are looking for baby names and Muslim birth customs in English.

It provides description about significance of names, masculine and feminine names, singular and plural names, verbal names, and methods for creating compound names for boys and girls.

All entries in this compendium are arranged alphabetically showing the origin of each name, its transliteration (pronunciation), and meaning along with useful footnotes and the actual name in Arabic/Urdu/Persian script.

With its comprehensive, communicative, and easy to follow approach, this book also explains the birth customs such as Adhan/Iqamah, Aqeeqa, and Circumcision (khitan) that are celebrated at the arrival of a newborn in a Muslim family throughout the world. The bibliography and index at the end of the book make it easy for the parents to find exactly what they need.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It is a timely and extremely useful book for Muslims living in the western world... I am confident that this book will satisfy the paramount needs of thousands of Muslim parents who are settled in the western world and are eager to give graceful Islamic names to their children." (Prof. Muhammad A. Khan, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Madras (India)) -- Prof. Muhammad A. Khan, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Madras (India)

"There is a great deal more to the book than mere dictionary listing of names...A wealth of information about naming in an Islamic cultural context is presented in a clear, understandable, and relevant fashion.." (NAMES: A Journal of Onomastics (Sept. 1998) Official Journal of the American Name Society) -- NAMES: A Journal of Onomastics (Sept. 1998) Official Journal of the American Name Society)

1.0 out of 5 stars It is not worth buying at all !!!, January 10, 2005
By 
This review is from: Treasury of Favorite Muslim Names (Paperback)
I had highly anticipated the arrival of this book, but upon arrival I was extremely dissapointed. Though it has a good explanation of the pronounciation, it is not a good book for finding names. It has very very limited names. For example, to my knowledge there are hundreds of muslim girls name starting with the letter "S" , whereas the writer has just given very few. I do not recommend anyone buying this book. In the entire book I could not find a single name that I would like to keep for my child.
