The Name Ashiq-Allâh (One who Passionately Loves Allâh)

Question :

"Ashiq-Allah," (Praiser of Allah) Muhammad-Allâh and Muhib-Allâh (Lover of Allah) some people are called by these names; is this permissible?

Answer:

Calling oneself or somebody else by the name "Ashiq- Allâh" involves bad manners; however, there is no harm in naming someone by the other two names, even though it is better to name somebody by their true relation to Allah: 'Abdullah (servant of Allah), or simply by such names as Muhammad, Salih, or Ahmad.
