Slave of GOD????

[fatak]

Can someone explain this please.........


There are many Arabic names for God, e.g. Aziz, Rahman, etc. These are also popular names throughout the Arab world. Such names are always preceded by 'Abdul' (meaning 'Slave of ..'). Anyone with such a name must always be referred to as 'Abdul Aziz' or 'Abdul Rahman' etc, NEVER as 'Abdul'.

Does this mean........a person's name means slave of God???

Yes indeed Mr Fatak,
Abdul-Rahman, Abdul-Lah, Abdul-Aziz..etc, means the slave of Allah (God).
