(Part No. 11; Page No. 453)
A:
The name `Ashuqullah is improper. There is nothing wrong with the names Muhammadullah and Muhibullah, but it is better to avoid using them. It is recommended to use the names such as Muhammad, Saleh and Ahmad as well as names that imply enslavement to Allah (Exalted be He) without adding another word.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
