Abdul

Non-PRO English to Arabic Art/Literary Linguistics
I need this Arabic first name written with ALL diacritics in Arabic script and its closest transliteration/pronunciation.
So far I have عبد ال, but this doesn't have the diacritics, so this is no good.

All replies in English, please, except for Arabic script examples!

Thanks.

You can ask the moderator to change the question for you.

Well, I guess, the Bengali people just use the short form, but as it turns out, this practice doesn't have to do anything with real Arabic usage. So I don't know, whether I should ask for help to change this question to Abdullah with the help of the moderators or post Abdullah as a separate question. The problem is only, that for today I ran out of the maximum 5 questions, I can ask. Or should we make this thread from now on a question about Abdullah?
Muhammad Atallah Oct 17, 2017:
Most probably, 'Abdul' is the first part of an Arabic name. I am not sure about the Bengali one.
bochkor (asker) Oct 17, 2017:
So Bengali Abdul doesn't count as Arabic?
Muhammad Atallah Oct 17, 2017:
ِAbdullah (عبد الله) is a complete name. However, there are many other compound names that start with 'Abdul'.
bochkor (asker) Oct 17, 2017:
I think, I've seen it as the first names of Bengali people in a standalone form.
bochkor (asker) Oct 17, 2017:
Really? Do you mean Abdullah would be complete? Because I've seen the name Abdul separately from Abdullah many times. So I think, that Abdullah would be a totally different name from Abdul.
Muhammad Atallah Oct 17, 2017:
The name is incomplete.
