Question

My name is Abdul Furqaan. I want to know if my name is correct? Furqaan is also the other name for Quraan. It means the book which make a difference between truth and false.

Answer

Furqaan is not the name of Allah Ta`ala. So to have the word Abd before this will not be appropriate.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
