ANSWER

Wa alaykum Salām Warahmatullāh Wabarakātuh.

As regards the Names of Allāh, some of them can be names of the creation too, an examples is the name Mu’min, Kabīr are also one of those names that a creation can bear aside Allāh.

This is because its not found in them meaning what is a specific attribute of Allāh ta’ālā.

The Ulamā explained that such names can be bore provided they are not suffixed by the definite article ‘Al-‘

Therefore, either of Muhammad Kabīr or AbdulKabīr is okay.

Jazākumullāhu Khayran.
