My boyfriend has been eating halal food with me for so many years, and it's time to give him a religious name.
Why do Hui people have religious names? After a Hui baby is born, they usually invite an Azhari to give the child a religious name based on Islamic scriptures. The religious name is derived from the names of famous sages in history, each of whom has unique qualities and characteristics. For example, honesty, kindness, bravery, and so on. Giving a religious name is not only a reflection of religious tradition but also carries the blessings and hopes of the parents for their child.
