[edit] Islamic names which some think are faulty

• The name `Abd ar Rasūl means "slave of the prophet", an error according to Wahhabi thinking. Most Sunni Muslims accept this name as valid. It is considered a source of blessings and widely accepted especially among those who follow the Sufi orders under the banner of "tariqa Muhammadīya" = "the path of the prophet".
