It is a mark of colonialism to assume that an "Arabic" name is an Islamic name. Because many enter religion as followers they never stop to ask questions.

There are many non Arabic nations that are Muslims and often they do not adopt Arabic names. Among the Yoruba you hear the phhrase "oruko Sunnah" which again no one can substantiate from either the Quran or any other basis.
Many Middle Eastern Christiian have similar names

The truth is that Islam did not introduce new names among the Arabs .They continued to bear their old names except those that were outrightly offensive to Islam.

Many of those names are just Middle Eastern names aong cultures related to Islam including Jews.

There is nothing "Islamic" about Kuburat or Amina , Wasiu or Nasir . Similar meanings can be found in all languages.

Even the name of the Prophet had been in use long before he was born by Meccan people who were PAGANS

Their bodies may have been burnt or other parts of the body chopped off by the terrorists so it is allowed to bury them in a casket.
Allah knows best!

What is a "MUSLIM" name ? Is there such a thing? Can you define "Muslim" name

The word should have been Hausa.

Northern Christians do bear names that otherwise sounds Islamic but not entirely true. For example, Jesus is Isah in Hausa. You will find both Isah in both Bible and Koran. So the name is multi faith. Others are like Adamu da Hauwa'u who are Adam and Eve. Biblical and Koranic names especially those belonging to the Old Testament are used by both religions.

My dads first name is Yakubu which is the book of James in the Hausa Bible translation. Muslims dont use this name but use a slight variant of Yakub which is the prophet Jacob in Islam.

Common Hausa Bible names;
Sama’ila - Samuel
Ayuba - Job
Ishaya - Isaiah
Irmiya - Jeremiah
Yusha’u - Hosea
Yowel - Joel
Yunusa - Jonah
Mika - Micah
Zakariya - Zachariah
Malakai - Malachi
Markus - Mark
Luka - Luke
Yahaya - John
Yakubu - James
Bitrus - Peter
Yahuza - Jude

Other names are simple Hausa translation so Christians who use the Hausa language could use.

Theophilus Danjuma
Patrick Yakowa Ibrahim (late)
Yakubu Dogara
Yakubu Gowon

These are notable northern Nigerian persons but with (a mix of) typical northern Muslim names.

Secondly, they were about four or five priests blessing their casket/graves, which means they weren't even musljms to begin with

What makes Danjuma Muslim?

I confused


I am not sure what makes Yakubu Muslim either

Yakub or Yakob is the Jewish form of the Anglicized Jacob

JESUS too is anglicized. The Original form in his language was not Jesus (There is no J)
but Yeshua / Yeshu
Dittto for Joseph which would be Yosef among Jews or Yusuf among some Arabs

They are ethnic names . Nothing Muslim or Christian about them

From the look of things, it seems that they are all Christians. Because the people performing the burial rites are all dressed like christian clergy men other than an imam.

I see your point but it is not accurate to say Muslims do not use Yakubu. I know a few


Sometimes this is a matter of Linguistic variance e.g

Muhammadu, Muhammad, Mohammed
Mikhail, Mukhail Mukhaila
Ibrahima Ibrahim

Idris Idirisu

Paul Paolo
Anthony Antonio


Isah I think is Arabic rather than Hausa
It is important to point out that JESUS is a European version no one would have used that when he was alive

Generally these names reached the North frst though Islam but I do not think it is correct to call them either Christian or Muslim names

Re: Using Casket For Burial In Islam by Nobody: 2:49pm On Mar 30, 2018
Oh please! IMO the real reason muslims aren't buried in caskets is because In mecca where the religion originated from they had really few trees (still do in the middle east and North Africa) and those trees served as shades then. It would be unwise to cut them down and make caskets out of them when they had wool in abundance. So, they wrap up their dead in clothe and put them in the hole. Which really made sense and still does. We have so much trees here in the south so i see no reason why muslims won't just bury their dead with a casket? If i were Muslim and I decide to bury my dead with a clothe instead of a casket it would be by choice and not Religious Influence.

James is not of English Origin.

The Original name is neither Christian or Muslim.

It is of Middle Eastern Origin.

People forget that the Bible was not written in English to start with names like Jesus David Solomon Moses James John Peter Paul are not the Original forms of these names to start with

Yesterday I read in social median about 11 soldiers killed in Benin gwari in Kaduna state and where buried.

On closer look at the name of the soldier I discovered they are mostly Muslims and about to be buried in a casket

That prompted my thought that other Muslim are buried with only with cloth why is it that our army personnel that died in active service are buried in casket and other Muslim are hurried in white cloth.

In need explanation cos I'm just curious to know
Oga travel and you will learn. Over 90% of Northern Christians answer Arabic names.

Late last year, our Organisation was commissioned to run an election related survey in Katsina and to our shock 40% of the populations are Christians. We were supposed to spend only 21 days but we ended up spending 3 months. We changed every parameters, pulled up the worst case scenarios, narrowed the sample sizes, broaden the sizes and our hit consistently returned between 35-40 percents. We spent over additional 2 months to verify this.

So if Katsina a core sharia state has Christians as large as this what will you say about Kaduna.

What am I trying to say, those Soldiers might be Christians.

Finally, the best chances of defeating Buhari is to tactfully pull both tribal and religious cards. Shia muslims are on standby to deliver about 3 million votes against him but SW moslems are on lock down for him.

NE is a swing region. Kano and Kaduna will shock BMCs and PDP will pull atleast 25% from NW.

Christian Yorubas are undecided and are likely to vote for PDP if they field Yoruba Christians. A SE VP will not appeal to them, but the North is indifferent in who becomes VP.

SW VP will cost PDP their strongest ally SE and their bulk breaking votes in SW, NW and "consolidation votes" from the other regions.

A female VP will not sell.

We left Lagos 2 weeks ago and our next stop will be NC, then FCT.
