"The Complete Book of Muslim & Parsi Names"

by Maneka Gandhi and Ozair Husain

"On the day of Qayamat, you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers. Therefore, keep good names"

- Prophet Muhammad

From the back of the book:

"The result of several years of research, The Complete Book of Muslim and Parsi Names is an extensive and thorough compilation of names from the Muslim and Parsi world. The meaning of each of the approximately 30,000 names taken from ten languages is given and its sources and historical relevance discussed. The book provides useful source material for lay readers, parents and scholars who would like to know the origin and root of familiar and not-so-familar names".

An excerpt from the book

Muhammad, meaning "one who is praised", is the most commonly given name in the world. According to a Hadis, Prophet Muhammad is supposed to have said "Whoever is named after me with the hope of being blessed, he will be blessed and will be in peace till the Day of Qayamat".

According to the Mishkatu 'l Masabih, on the subject of names, the Prophet is supposed to have said "The best names in the sight of God are 'Abdu'llah (the servant of Allah), 'Abdu'r Rahman (servant of the merciful one)."

"The vilest name you can give a human being is Maliku'l-Amlak or king of kings, because no one can be such but God himsel."

"Call your children after your prophet but the names God likes best are 'Abdu'llah and 'Abdu'r Rahman, and the next best are Haris (husbandman) and Hammam (high-minded). The wordst names are Harb (enemity) or Murrah (bitterness".

"On the day of Qayamat, you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers. Therefore, keep good names".

Why Should I Buy This Book?

This is probably our most frequently asked question by our visitors:

Question

Why should I buy The Complete Book of Muslim & Parsi Names paying $34 when there are free sites out there like BabyNamesIndia.com which have published thousands of baby names with meanings, for free?

Answer

  • Because...
    Free sites simply Do Not Have Enough Names
    .
    [Free sites: 3,000 names
    Ozar Husain's book: 30,000 names!]

  • Because...
    You get to name your child only Once. There is no "next time".

  • Because...
    Your Child's Name is for Life. Get it right the first time.

Yes, you are right. There are many free sites on baby names.

But what you don't know, is that there are actually about 40,000 - 50,000 possible names (probably even more) and combinations in our country, and no web site - including ourselves - has published more than 3,000 names.

We are the #1 site for names on the web, and yet (frankly speaking) what we have here is less than 10% of all names. So, if we have only 10%, then don't even bother going to these other sites.

So why don't you publish all the other names then?

Simply because we have neither the expertise nor the funds (we are a free site, remember?) to back extensive research on names, their meanings and their origins - like Maneka Gandhi and Ozair Husain have already done!

Why reinvent the wheel?

So what we have done is, we recommend buying Maneka Gandhi's book which has more than 30,000 of the most unusual names you can find anywhere, along with a detailed explanation about the name's origin and its meaning.

These are names that you will not find on any web site - or even any other book, for that matter.

Naming your little bundle of joy is a
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
.

There is no "next time".

The name you give your baby is going to be with her (or him) for the rest of her (his) life. It's not a question of one day, one month or one year - a Name Is For Life

Are you willing to compromise on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the sake of a mere $34?

Don't throw away this unique chance. Give your child the best possible name.
Don't give your child just any name - give your child the name of a life time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers to FAQ

  1. Why two different payment options - 2Checkout.com and PayPal.com?
    Whichever option you choose, the cost of the book, the service and the delivery date will remain exactly the same.

    The only difference is that, if you are already a PayPal.com member, you can use your existing balance to transfer the funds to us.

    Using 2Checkout.com, you can pay using your credit card just the way you would at any store (online or offline), like Amazon.com. We've provided the 2Checkout.com option for those who are not PayPal members and those who don't have the time to sign up for a new account with PayPal.

    Also, since both of them are external sites, we want to give you an additional alternative to make your purchase, just in case these web sites are not available at the time of your purchase..

  2. Is your server secure?
    Absolutely. Both 2Checkout and PayPal implement the highest security standards. You can shop with them securely.
    Top



  3. How can I make sure that it is indeed secure?
    Just when you are about to enter your credit card information, look at the 'url' or 'link' in your browser. The link will (and should) start with https://. The 's' in the https:// means that the page where you are entering your credit card information, is absolutely safe and secure. No one can look at your credit card information other than you and the merchant, which is either PayPal.com or 2Checkout.com, depending on which merchant you choose to buy from.

  4. Who will be processing my credit card?
    Either 2Checkout or PayPal will be processing your credit card information. We will never get to see your credit card information. You will be submitting it directly to them at their site.
    Top



  5. Do you have access to my credit card info?
    No, not at all. We don't even see any of your credit card information. You will be submitting it directly to our merchant partners at their site.
    Top



  6. What is your return policy?
    You can return your book to obtain a 100% refund - i.e., whatever was charged to your credit card will be refunded in full - if for some reason you receive the wrong book (not what you ordered online) or if the product you ordered is damaged during shipping. Absolutely No Questions asked.
    Top



  7. How soon will I get my book?
    The book, as you probably realize, is printed and published in India. So, the shipping is also done from India. So, depending on which country you live in, you will get your book in as little as 3 days, or it may even take 2-3 weeks. In the last 2 year that our book store has been operational, we have seen that a book shipped from India reaches the U.S or Canada in 10-12 business days.
    Top



  8. Where is the book being shipped from?
    From India. To be more precise, from one of our two fulfilment centers in Chennai and Bangalore.

  9. Who do I contact if I have questions before or after my order?
