And what is the meaning of my name mohamed ajrul or mohamed ajrullah which is the best name for me ustadh…jazakallah khairen

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The name “Ajrul” has an incomplete meaning.

“Ajrullah” means reward from Allah.[1] 

We advise you to keep the name Mohamed Ajrullah.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

[1] لسان العرب (١/٨٤) – محمد بن مكرم بن على، أبو الفضل، جمال الدين ابن منظور الأنصاري الرويفعى الإفريقى (المتوفى: 711هـ) | دار الحديث القاهرة

أجر: الأَجْرُ: الْجَزَاءُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ، وَالْجَمْعُ أُجور. والإِجارَة: مِنْ أَجَر يَأْجِرُ، وَهُوَ مَا أَعطيت مِنْ أَجْر فِي عَمَلٍ.

والأَجْر: الثَّوَابُ؛ وَقَدْ أَجَرَه اللَّهُ يأْجُرُه ويأْجِرُه أَجْراً وآجَرَه اللَّهُ إِيجاراً.
