India Media Thinks Atif Aslam’s Son is Named ‘Alhamdulilah’
Wait what?

Indian media can get a crack out of you on the most unexpected of subjects. Their recent blooper really hit it out of the ballpark as they reported that Atif Aslam has named his second son, ‘Alhamdulilah’.
Do ya reckon, Atif Aslam might take that ‘name suggestion’ into consideration?
So what happened here? We take a look.
Atif Aslam made a statement
As most Muslim parents do, Atif Aslam also announced the arrival of his baby boy in a similar fashion:
“Ladies and gentlemen our NEW arrival Alhamdulilah. Both mother and baby are fine. Keep us in your prayers and don’t forget to say Mashallah”

Atif was thankful to God and therefore, Alhamdullilah. But someone work works in the Indian media forgot what the term means. And it seems that they took the liberty (free press right?) to report that the child’s name is ‘Alhamdulilah’.

But seriously what's the meaning?

That's not the author's problem. We wrongly assume that random familiarity with religion/culture/idea to be same as its proper understanding. Muslims bemoan the prevalence of misconception, but hardly make the effort to educate people.
Angie@designphilia
It isn't the subject's responsibility to educate, it is the duty of the 'journalist' to do proper research. Looking at the platform, it definitely is stirring up a dirty martini.

Hello all. I am the 'idiot' author of the article. It was a genuine mistake on my part, the silliest and one of the worst I have ever made. I would be grateful if all of you here can forgive this ignorant person. I will be more careful in the future.
P.S.- it's been corrected

Zinia, what is this behaviour?
Zinia Bandyopadhyay@iamzinia
In retrospect, this is the silliest and one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. But as soon as we realised, we made the change. Too late though. But I learnt two things:
1. Be very careful on the web
2. Alhamdulilah cannot be a name
Genuinely sorry though
Replying to @NargisiKoftaay
The writer of the article clearly needs to go back to English class
The Roving Photographer@TheRovingPhotog
No. To cultural sensitivity class.
In the end, we got some pretty good laughs out of this. The post has been corrected. Atif Aslam has issued a statement. So let’s not be ‘The Grinch‘ around Whoville too long. Twitter will come up with something funnier soon enough.
