The virtue of good name in islam


The virtue of giving a good name for boys and girls 

Name in Arabic called isim. Isim meaning is 'address' (sign). Isim also be meaningful as samuu (something high). So isim (name) is the highest mark (striking) in person.
Because of the importance of a person's name, to the extent that the hadith experts when it finds there is a narrator whose hadith mubham (name unknown), they mendhoifkan hadith until it is clear who the narrator is. And from this case, we can conclude that the importance of a person's name.
In the religion of Islam, an obligation of parents to give a good name for their children, because it can take effect the person was named.

Because then, the Arabs say:
لكل مسمى من اسمه نصيب
"Everyone will be impacted by the name given to him."

This shows if the name of a person is good, then it would be a good influence, therefore, the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam states:  that the best name is' Abdullah. As the name suggests pure servitude to God.

Similarly, in some hadith, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam forbade to name a child with a bad name like 'Ashiyah’ (adulterous woman, with the letter 'ain and shod), Hazn (sad) and Zahm (narrow).

So in conclusion, the name was so influential in a person, Try to imagine if a child is given a name by Hazn (sadly), surely it would be someone who keeps it sad because given name. That urgency is important in giving a name for the baby.

The influence of a good boys and girls name:

1. One can find out how their parents. His parents can be seen from the child's name, whether it's her parents Salih, or a tholih (opposite of Salih). 

As the Arabs were saying,
من اسمك أعرف أباك
"From your name, I can know how your father."

2. From the good name, a person can spread the goodness. For example, if a person is given the name "Moses". From the this name, everyone who hears the name, can be considering the nature, and the noble morality of the Prophet Musa 'alaihis salam. Therefore, giving good name here, including the sunnah hasanah spread among the people.

Our point is, as mentioned in the hadith, 

 من سن فى الإسلام سنة حسنة فله أجرها وأجر من عمل بها

"Those who start doing good deeds in Islam, then he will get the reward, and reward those who imitate the act." (Narrated by Muslim no. 1017)


When a good time to give the boys and girls name?

We can see in the following hadiths.

1. Anas bin Malik, he said that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,
ولد لى الليلة غلام فسميته باسم أبى إبراهيم
"Last night my son was born and I gave the name as my father is Abraham." (Narrated by Muslim no. 2315)

2. From Abu Musa, he said,
ولد لى غلام, فأتيت به النبى - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فسماه إبراهيم, فحنكه بتمرة, ودعا له بالبركة, ودفعه إلى, وكان أكبر ولد أبى موسى.

"My son was born, and then I took him to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam. He gave the name of Ibrahim, he fed him with chewed dates, and pray for blessings, then handed it to me. "Ibrahim is the eldest son of Abu Musa." (Narrated by Bukhari no. 5467, 6198 and Muslim no. 2145)

3. From Samurah bin Jundub that the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

كل غلام رهينة بعقيقته تذبح عنه يوم سابعه ويحلق ويسمى

"Every child aqiqahnya spout with (the name), slaughtered a goat for him on his seventh day, his head shaved, and given a name." (Narrated by Abu Dawud no. 2838, An Nasai no. 4220, Ibn Majah zero. 3165, Ahmad 5/12. Shaykh Al-Albani said that this hadeeth saheeh)

From the above hadith of Abu Musa, Ibn Hajar rahimahullah said, "This hadeeth indicates that Abu Musa hasten to bring her newborn to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam

This proposition shows that hasten the delivery of the baby name is better, and not have to wait for the name on the seventh day. "

Al-Bayhaqi said, "Hadiths that talk about the name on the baby in the birth more authentic than the hadeeth which indicates the name on the seventh day."

Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd Tasmiyatul Mawlud rahimahullah in his book says, "There is the sunnah of the Prophet shalllallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, that the naming was three times:

1. On the day of birth,
2. Until the third day of the birth,
3. On the seventh day of the birth

Credit card is allowed in islam

Credit Card Laws in Islam, hallal or haram?

Credit card (Arabic; bithaqah i'timan) in Islamic finance, called the Islamic card, or shariah card. Leading to less cash society. Which is one of the tools in the payment system, as a means to facilitate the transaction process, because it is not dependent on cash payments, or by payment in cash, because the risk of carrying cash.

In some of the literature of contemporary jurisprudence, legal status as an object, or media kafalah services (warranty). Accompanied bailout payment (qardh), and services ijarah, for ease of transaction.

Banking companies, in this case the credit card issuer (proof of kafalah) as guarantor (kafil), for credit card users in a variety of transactions. Therefore, the law applies here kafalah, qardh and ijara.

The scholars permit systems and practices in muamalah kafalah, based on the arguments of the Qur'an, Sunnah and Ijma '.
Allah says: "and who can return it will receive heavy loads of foodstuffs camels, and I will be bound." (Surah Yusuf: 72).
Ibn Abbas said that what is meant by the word "Za'im" in this verse is "kafil".


Prophet's saying: "az-Za'im gharim" means the man who ensures meaningful owed ​​(for bail). (Narrated by Abu Dawood, Turmudzi, Ibn Hibban).
Scholars agree (ijma ') on bolehnya kafalah practices as required in muamalah prevalent.

Kafalah basically a contract tabarru '(voluntary), the value of worship for the guarantor, as including cooperation in virtue (ta'awun' alal Birri), and the guarantor of the right to request return back to payable. He did not ask for very worthy reward for his services, so as to secure / away from doubtful. But if payable himself gave as gifts, or grants to express his gratitude, then fine.

However, if the guarantor itself which requires compensation for services (like credit card administration fee money, etc.), and would not warrant a voluntary basis, then it is permissible for warranty service users as necessary to meet these demands as a common requirement in the course of the study, business transactions, social activities, personal affairs and so on.


So, how do credit card laws in Islam?


In principle, the Islamic credit card is permitted, as long as the practice does not deal with the usury system, ie enforce interest, if repayment of the debt to guarantee payment arrears, or delinquent.

In addition, the provision of money services kafalah earlier, should not be too expensive, so the burden owed​​, or too large exceeds rational, to wake up from the original purpose kafalah, the rescue services, in the form of loan guarantees to merchants, sellers of goods or services receive.
Thus permissible for Muslims to use the services of a credit card that does not use the system of interest.

Credit card is allowed in islam
But if forced, or demands necessitated the need to use a regular credit card, taking the provisions of interest, then for ease of transactions permitted use any credit card. With full confidence in financial condition, and its economy was able to pay the debt, and the commitment to pay it off on time, prior to maturity, in order not to pay the debt.

It is based on the principle of jurisprudence 'Saddudz Dzari'ah', meaning attitudes and preventive measures to prevent acts of sin. Therefore, the law giver of money eaters and usury, are equally unlawful.

Based on the history of Ibn Mas'ud: "The Messenger of Allah cursed treasure eater of usury, the payer of riba, ribawi transactions witnesses and writers." (Narrated by Bukhari, Abu Dawud)

Hopefully, articles about credit card law, in Islam/Credit card is allowed in islam it can be useful for you. Thanks yours respectfully.
