Abd al-Sabur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ʻAbd al-Ṣabūr (ALA-LC romanization of Arabic: عبد الصبور) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words ʻabd and al-Ṣabūr, one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2] It means "servant of the Patient One".

Because the Arabic letter corresponding to s 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-Sabur, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd as-Sabur. Alternative transliterations include Abdul Saboor and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
