I think he should change his name.

Please educate yourself. Allah have 99 names and all of them are used by muslims.

i am no religious expert, but those 99 names are all adjectives, traits which humans can have, however allah leterally means god, the god. maybe im wrong, which is fine, but going around calling a person allah just seems strange.

Maybe he has a middle name that is missing

I’ve head Allah-baksh as a name. Allah Ditta is also a Punjabi name. But yeah it’s not common to just have Allah alone in names

Saw him in the ACC emerging cup, he’s a proper replacement for Mujeeb Zadran

 

[Rana]

Imagine this spin attack

Rashid Khan
Noor Ahmed
Mujeeb Zadran
Ghazanfar
Mohammad Nabi

Then reserves in Imrul Qais
Waqar Salamkheil

These guys have spinners that could all be first teamers for Pakistan. They don’t have seamers so their spinners feel compelled to lift it for their side.

Yes right, it is scholarly consensus that names that belongs only to God are prohibited , like Allah, Al-Rab, Al-Ahad etc.

Other names which doesn't only belong to god but people also , anyone can use it.

Allah has infinite names, however out of those 99 are qouted in Quran.
