Names of God

The names of God are the basis for the most popular islamic men's
names--after Mohammed, of course.

The attribute, or name, is modified by the prefix, Abdl or Abdul, which is
usually translated "slave of" but which I have the sense means something more
like "in thrall to".


For example,  Abdulkabeer, or "slave of greatness"
