So there are usually
2 criteria
when choosing a name.
Alright?
So I think the first one is does
they have a good meaning?
Or at the very least, it should not
have a
a bad meaning or a bad connotation.
The second criteria is
usually
it's a name of of a bit someone
beloved to you within your family or amongst
your family and friends.
Thirdly, it is it may be a name
of a
of a a pious personality
amongst the Sahaba,
Rod Langham, or the pious predecessors.
And then of course I think the 4th
one
would be it must be nice sounding on
the ears, right?
So my first daughter Zahra,
I have to admit
the sound came first.
I like the way it sounded.
And then of course,
the meaning being a flower.
So,
you know, flower is always something beautiful and
nice.
And so, I think that was the choice
of the
first name. Alhamdulillah.
The second daughter you want all 3 daughters?
Okay. So the second daughter Zainab,
because we started the bouquet
with Zahra the flower. Zainab means a fragrant
flower. So we continued
with the flower story
but also because
the name of
my wife's
great grandmother was Zaynab. The name of her
aunt was Zaynab, and of course the name
of the daughter of Rasulullah was Zaynab.
And then of course the 4th criteria, it's
a nice sounding name according to our opinion.
And then the last daughter,
Noha.
Noha my wife said she reminded me
she had no say in that name. She
left the decision to myself and my other
two
daughters. So Nuha,
the name the meaning is beautiful meaning. It
means intelligence.
And intelligence,
proper and pure and true intelligence leads us
to to recognize the greatness of Allah.
The second thing is I like the fact
that the name Nuh
appears in the Quran and in Hadith.
In Nafidranika,
La Ayatin Liulin Nuhah.
Indeed in that there are signs, Allah mentioned
some of his some of his signs, and
Allah says in that there were signs for
the possessors of intelligence.
And then in the hadith,
it says Nabi Muhammad
that those who have intelligence, meaning those who
have understanding of fiqh,
must stand stand directly behind the imam so
that if the imam needs to make istikhla,
put someone in his place because he breaks
then there's someone behind him would know what
to do.
