(#079)
Assalamualaikum.
Mufti Saheb, When we ask ulama the following question:
“How will we be called on the day of Qiyamah?”
In the reply, there may be any of three answers:
1) By mother’s name
[as mostly people say]
2) By father’s name except Hadhrat ‘Isa (alaihis salaam).
[I read it in Ahsanul Fataawa vol. 9 Pg.29]
3) Some people will be called by their mothers’ name & some will be called by
fathers’ name.
[An Alim told me it is written in the footnotes of Abu Dawood 320]
Please tell me the most correct opinion on this subject matter.
Jazaakallah.

We acknowledge receipt of your query and our response is as follows:
In this regard the following Hadith is noteworthy:
Abu Darda Radiyallaahu anhu reports that Rasulullah salallahu alai wa sallam said:
“You will be called upon on the day of Qiyaamah by your names and the names of your fathers. Therefore, keep beautiful (decent and appropriate) names.” Ahmad, Abu Dawud -Mishkaat pg. 408
From the above narration and from the Fatwa of Mufti Rasheed Ludhyaanwi Rahimahullah (Vl 9, Pg 29-30) we learn that a person will be called by their name and ones fathers name with the exception of Hadhrat Eesa Alehis salaam.
