Abdul Rashid (name)

ʻAbd al-Rashīd (ALA-LC romanization of ) is a male Muslim given name, and in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''ʻabd'' and ''al-Rashīd'', one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the right-minded".

Because the letter ''r'' is a sun letter, the letter ''l'' of the ''al-'' is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written in Arabic with letters corresponding to ''Abd al-Rashid'', the usual pronunciation corresponds to ''Abd ar-Rashid''. Alternative transliterations include ''‘Abd ar-Rasheed'' and others, all subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.

It should not be confused with ʻAbd al-Rāshid ().
