Assalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
My Name is Parvez Shaikh I'm from Maharashtra Nasik, my question is I kept my sons name as Mohammed Suhaan, it means Very Good / Bhout Accha, is this name nice our should I change it, now he is 3.6 years.
And plz say about my Name also, because some one said me ki Parvez naam nahi rakhna chahiye, aur jiskisi ka naam Parvez hai wo khoshish kare aapna naam change karneki, usne kisi bayan me suna tha.
Plz jawab dijiye.
Jazak Allah khair.
Wa Alaykum Al-Salam
The name Muhammed Suhaan is fine and there is no need to change it. However, although 'Parvez' is a name that has a good meaning and it is permissible to use it, our pious predecessors advise to avoid using it. This is because it was the name of a tyrant ruler who caused much harm to the Muslims. It is similar to naming a child 'Yazeed'. I advise that you change your name to Muhammed Afroz. Afroz means brightened, charming, enlightening etc. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised us to choose names with good meanings and also to name people after good people as the name has an effect on the person and the name we choose here is the name we will be called by on the day of Judgement and Allah knows best.
