As Salam Alaikum
Dear all,
I am Mohamed Mazhar Ul Haque. Expecting my first kid in the next few weeks.
Suggestions invited for some good names for both male and female.
I am thinking of some names in the following format :
Boy : Mohamed .......................... Ul Haque
( Please excuse the Zia, Misbah, Ehsan, Inzamam )
Girl : ....................... Haque
Would appreciate it if you could share with meanings.
Allah hafiz
Mazhar

Bi ismillahi rahmani raheem wa alaikum assalam wa mabruk br. Boy names Muhamad..Abdul Qadir...al Haqq...after shaykh abdul Qadir al Jilani  or Muhammad abdul karim al haque Girl, Aisha al Haque...i think this one is obvious. ------------- Rasul Allah (sallah llahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "Whoever knows himself, knows his Lord" and whoever knows his Lord has been given His gnosis and nearness. |

Wa Alaikumus Salaam. Muhammad is always the best name. But there are many other good Muslim names to choose from. Consider some of the other prophets like: Musa, Isa, Ibrahim, Adam, Yusuf, Yunus, Hud, Lut, Ilyas, Harun. Also the names of the companions are also wonderful: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Bilal, Hassan, Hussayn, Masood, Khalid, Zubayr, Talha. And then there are names derived from Allah's attributes: Abdur Rahman, Abdur Rahim, Abdullah, Abdul Hakim, Abdul Basit, Abdul Jabbar, Abdul Qudoos, Abdus Salaam, Abdul Muhaimin. For Girls, start with the four women who excelled above all others: Maryam, Fatima, Asiya, Khadija. Other good female names are those related to the Prophets: Hajjar, Bilquis, Sara, Zulaikah, Hawwa, Aisha, Ruqayyah, Hafsah. And then the other believing women who lived during the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh): Safiyyah, Asma, Sumayyah, Hamnah Finally, you can also choose feminine words that reflect Allah's attributes: Aaliyah, Hakima, Malikah, Rahmah, Latifah, Wahida, Halimah, Shukurah. Hope this helps Inshallah. ------------- Lower Your Voice for Verily the Harshest of Sounds is the Braying of the Ass Fantastic articles on Islamic topics at http://www.islamiclearningmaterials.com< |

I think Asiya means "the rebellious one" and hence is not suitable for a name. I recall a hadith mentioning that. ------------- 'Trust everyone but not the devil in them' |

Assalaamu Alaikum If you have proof of this information, please post it so we can all benefit. However, Asiya was the name of Pharaoh's wife who raised Musa, peace be upon him. According to Wikipedia, Asiya means "the healer" or "one who helps the weak". Also, the website names4muslims.com confirms that Asiyah means: "One who tends the weak, one who comforts, consoles." And Allah knows best. ------------- Lower Your Voice for Verily the Harshest of Sounds is the Braying of the Ass Fantastic articles on Islamic topics at http://www.islamiclearningmaterials.com< |

Salaam Alaikum,
Brother I was referring to a hadith in Sahih Muslim:
------------- 'Trust everyone but not the devil in them' |

Assalaamu Alaikum The confusion is with the English spelling and pronunciation. The hadith reported by Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, is referring to the Asiyah spelled with an 'Ayn and a Sawd. But the name of Pharaoh's wife was Asiya spelled with an alif and Seen. The root of this word means to comfort or relieve. Those two words may sound the same in English, but they sound different in Arabic and have two completely different meanings. 'Asiyah with 'Ayn and Sawd, as you mentioned does mean rebellious or stubborn. Unfortunately I can't write Arabic in this forum to show you the difference. But thank you for bringing up that hadith as it helped me learn something new. Ma Salama And Allah knows best. ------------- Lower Your Voice for Verily the Harshest of Sounds is the Braying of the Ass Fantastic articles on Islamic topics at http://www.islamiclearningmaterials.com< |

Assalaamu Alaikum, Thanks for clearing the difference. All this time I thought it was the name of the Firaun's wife mentioned in the hadith. Jazakallah ------------- 'Trust everyone but not the devil in them' |
