Seek guidance from Allah & His Messenger ; Choose meaningful names ; Respectful behavior towards parents ; Listen to wise counsel of elders in one's community .

It is important for Muslims to be mindful when naming their children, as it can have a lasting impact on their lives. In this hadith, a man wanted to give his son the name Qasim, but was advised against it by others in his community. He then went to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for advice and was told to call him ‘Abd al-Rahman instead. This shows that Muslims should seek guidance from Allah and His Messenger ﷺ when making decisions about their children’s names, as they are more knowledgeable about what is best for them than anyone else. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that we should choose names with good meanings so that our children will grow up with positive values and beliefs instilled in them from an early age.
