ʻAbd al-Shakūr (ALA-LC romanization of Arabic: عبد الشکور) is a male Muslim given name, built on the Arabic words ʻabd and al-Shakūr, one of the names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the Muslim theophoric names.[1][2] 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. It may refer to:
