Question:
Assalaam Alaikum.
I took Baya over the internet over one year ago and have learned a great deal from the Tariqa. I converted to Islam over a decade ago.
My question is this: I have always wanted a Muslim name, but was unsure of how to go about it. I know it’s not absolutely necessary, but I would like one anyway. Does the Shakyh ever give Muslim names to murids?
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Yes. Insha-Allah your Muslim name is Jamal, which means beauty.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
