I chose mine because at the time I was wanting to learn more about Islam with a view to reverting. Now I have reverted I am considering changing it to something else but cant think what.
I chose mine because I liked it..I also thought it meant "thankfulness", which is true of my feelings towards Islam...However, Ive found other meanings for it-such as "praise" and "eulogy"-and that its also a mans name, so I hope I wasnt wrong about the meaning to start with, lol!
A whisper of peace,
Moving through the land.
Allah will surely run to us if we hold out our hands.
A word of hope will call to every woman and man.
A light until the end of time,
This is our Islam.
I chose my name because Jesus called us to be a light to the world.
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5: 14-16)
It's also short for 'Gloria', meaning [God's] glory.
Peace

nice...mines dreamer....but I wanna change it to *SelflessSoul* but the mods are takin aaaages! lol I want it that because I think it's a good quality...as opposed to selfishness
the name people call me by is adnan, but, my original name is dawud (man i love tha name), poeple started calling me adnan when i moved to different city while i was young, so my grand mother called me ''Adnan"", but i think, i should keep both names since my other grand mum called me''dawud'' first, as you can tell i preferre this name more, since it was my first name, i kno what it means ,... as for adnan i DONT couldnt find anything...:enough!:
ow yeah dawud is the name of a Prophet(as) , YEAH!!!!!!!!
i had a very long maiden name "dona annette isabel eliot-lerdo (baronesa) de tejada" but i just called myself annette tejada... but even that is too much for american english speaker they pronounce it "tuh-jayda" even though it is "teh-hada" people just called me jayda for short...
gracias a Dios i have a much shorter name now that i am married!
