Say it ab-dul-ma-JEED. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Abdulmajid and Abdul Majeed. In Arabic it is written with 9 letters, from right to left: ع ʿayn + ب ba + د dal + ا alif + ل lam + م mim + ج jim + ي ya + د dal.

Choosing Abdul-Majid

Names made of Abd and one of the names of Allah are among the best Muslim names. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",³ and scholars count other names of Allah joined to Abd after these two. Call the child by the full name, Abdul-Majid, and not by the Name of Allah on its own. With the father's name it becomes Abdul-Majid bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
