    The person who appoints Abraham with the name “Abram” violates a ban on Torah for it is written: “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham” Gen 17: 5. The renaming of Abraham, indicates the elevation of Abraham to exalted father to father of a multitude of nations, appointing Abraham by his original name is reduce his honor. (Talmud B. Berajot 13 a)

    I think that giving a child the name of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) corresponds to the above, is a a great honor for him. Abram is a particular name, but Abraham/Ibrahim reminds us more of a great Muslim. Salam.

    Can Moslems use Moses for Musa? I studied in an Islamic Uni and this Uni translates Prophets name from Arabic to English. That’s how I found my son’s name—Moses. So, can Moslems use Moses instead of Musa?
