Answer:
Name alphabet has bearing on
child
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none
can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.
We bear witness that there is no one (no idol,
no person, no grave, no
prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
There is absolutely no truth is
what the person said, as the date of
the birth or the alphabets of a name have absolutely no bearing on the
character of a person. The
believers, who sincerely believe in
Allah and the Last Day, should not hold
or believe such false beliefs and superstitions.
If one changes the name because
he fears such false superstitions, that
the alphabet in ones name or the date of ones birth has an adverse effect on
the child; it will be considered a
major sin in Islam as such beliefs are equivalent to shirk!
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allahs Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in
Islam,
Burhan
