Abd al-Shakur
male given name
ʻAbd al-Shakūr (ALA-LC romanization of Arabic: عبد الشکور) is a male Muslim given name, comprising two Arabic words ʻabd and al-Shakūr, the latter being one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names. It means "servant of the All-thankful".
Because the Arabic letter corresponding to sh is a sun letter, the letter l of the al- is assimilated to it. Thus although the name is written with letters corresponding to Abd al-Shakur, the usual pronunciation corresponds to Abd ash-Shakur. Alternative transliterations include Abdul Shakoor and others, all subject to variant spacing and hyphenation.
The public source identifies “Abd al-Shakur” as male given name. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around al-Shakur, male and given.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Abd al-Shakur”, the useful work is to connect “male given name” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4666328. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
