Will I Have To Change My Name ? by yinkarh187(m): 2:24pm On Dec 08, 2016
Salam
I am Muhammad Toyib by name. I had a discussion with one of my friends last week. He claimed "Toyib" is one of the names of Allah so I'll have to change my name to abdul-toyib. I asked him to bring evidence which he did today by showing me a book where Toyib is written as one of the name of Allah.
I have 2 questions which are:
(1) Is Toyib really a name of Allah and will I have to change my name?
(2) is it true that the common 99 names of Allah is gotten from a da'if hadith.
please I need answer with proofs. jazakumllahu khairan

there is nothing wrong with that. tayib literally means good, so if someone calls you Good its okay but it becomes a problem when you add 'AL' as a prefix, Al-Tayib will mean The good which is an attribute of Allah.


Abdul tayib is also okay, it means servant of Allah The Good


Allahu a'alamu
