    “Always consult your local imam or other knowledgeable individuals”. What a tight leash you muslims are kept on by your religious leaders. Unlucky for you.

    Why are you coming to an Islamic site if you are just going to spread hate? “Until you your religion and unto me my religion”

    I wouldn’t say it is necessary to contact the imaam to choose a name. We know our Islamic history. Keep things simple and name our children after the ambiyaa alaihimus salaam, or the sahaabah. Afterall, we want our children to emulate goodness don’t we? So we give good names in sha Allah. As for the critics wh9 take issue with US Muslims, ignore them or give them da3wah illallaah. Ilaa tauheed wassunah. Don’t take offense from their silly remarks. Perhaps Allah will guide them.
