<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Abdul Latif''' ({{langx|ar|عبد اللطيف|translit=ʻAbd al-Laṭīf}}) is a Muslim male given name and, in modern usage, surname. It is built from the Arabic words ''[[Abd (Arabic)|ʻabd]]'' and ''al-Laṭīf'', one of the [[names of God in the Qur'an]], which gave rise to the [[List of Arabic theophoric names|Muslim theophoric names]].<ref name=ahmed>{{cite book| title=A Dictionary of Muslim Names| author=Salahuddin Ahmed| publisher = Hurst & Company| location=London| year=1999}}</ref><ref name=rahman> {{cite book| title=A Dictionary of Muslim Names| author= S.
