Choosing Abdul-Khaliq

The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and scholars count other names of Allah joined to Abd after these two. Call the child by the full name, Abdul-Khaliq, and not by the Name of Allah on its own. With the father's name it becomes Abdul-Khaliq bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
