ʻAbd al-Shakūr (ALA-LC romanization of Arabic : عبد الشکور ) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words ʻabd al-Shakūr names of God in the Qur'an , which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names .[ 1] [ 2]
Because the Arabic letter corresponding to sh is a sun letter , the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Shakur , the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd ash-Shakur . Alternative transliterations include Abdul Shakoor and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
