You probably came across many Abdul names and never stopped to ask, what does it mean? Abdul is a servant and Abdul on its own is not correct. It has to come with something to become Islamic.
Abdul-lah (Servant Allah)
Abdul-Rahman (Servant of the Forgiver), Abdul-Razaq (Servant of the Provider), Abdul-Karem (Servant of the Generous), Abdul-Hakim (Servant of the Wise)…all popular names meaning servant of Allah’s and Allah has 99 names.
Where did these 99 name come from? This will surprise you. The Quran! Yes, the Quran uses the terms Al-Rahman, Al-Razaq, Al-Karem…etc in reference to Allah.
Yet if you go through the list, there are some shocking “names” of Allah.
You will not find anyone calling their son:
Abdul-Da’r (الضار Servant of the Harmful),
Abdul-AlMudil (المضل Servant of the deceiver),
Abdul-Muzil (المذل – Servant of the Humiliator),
Abdul-Moqet (المقيت Servant of the Abominator),
Abdul-Mutakabir (المتكبر – Servant of the Arrogant )…
Yet these are also Allah’s names too! Why? Are the believers embarrassed by Allah’s somewhat unpleasant names? They will happily justify these names as “needed” from an all powerful god, but it seems an all-powerful god cannot use all powerful goodness to win but rather need to be harmful, deceitful, enjoys humiliation, abomination , and rather arrogant about it!
But then, also, what I said many times before. The majority of muslims are better than Islam. Intentionally or otherwise, they look for what is good and distance themselves from the bad. And one further step away from this religion is all we hope they reach the same conclusion we reached. Islam without lies, dies.
