Question:
Assalaamualaikum wrwb dear Shaykh.
Can I keep my baby’s name as Daniyaal. Was it the name of any Prophet AS before. What does it mean.
JAZAKALLAHU khairan kaseera for the best service to mankind.
Answer:
wa alaykum salam,
Daniyal is the name of a prophet of Bani Israeel and thus a blessed name as the Prophet (s) said, “give names after names of prophets.” It means ‘Judgment of Allah’ and Allah knows best.
