Islamic naming guidance

  • Permissible

Draft: not yet reviewed by a scholar. This is not a fatwa.

Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources

Islam venerates Samuel as a prophet, but the Qur'an tells his story (sura 2) without naming him, so this is not a prophet-name recommendation.

Confidence: high
