four words:

"Make Your Name Worthy"

[NoName55]

on my wall hanging it say..name originally is a English name but its Greek base name from Helen meaning bright one or the shining one

it does mean ,the light, the torch, the lamp, after all she was daughter of "chief of gods"

when the angels wrap you in the kaffan and call you "helena" let it be a name which is praised much whilst on dunya,


think about the names of the sahabi, were they islamic before islam? no but they made it worthy.

What about Imam Bukhari, (ok he was Ismail ibn Muhammad but still lol)

 

[جوري]

I'll have to agree with not changing your name if you don't want to... lots of Muslims kept their non-muslim names I don't think they practised less... in fact just posted a whole thread on Thomas Abercrombie the famous National Geographic photographer who converted to Islam.... but if you really want to here are some of my favorite names
1-Lila
2-Lulwah (like a pearl) first daughter of Adam and Eve
3-Tuwa ( from the holy vale where G-D spoke to Moses) I don't think anybody has that name yet... I just thought it was beautiful--
4-Tasneem ( a pond in paradise)
5- Sireen ( she was the wife of the prophet's companion hasan bin thabit)
those are just a few from top of my head...
fi aman illah

I can't say that I have ever seen it being denegraded in any way by any one. In-fact I can't even remember as to why I even posted about it in the first place. My apologies

 

[amirah_87]

I agree, if it does'nt have a bad or inappropriate meaning you really don't have to change it sis.

I cant find the hadeeth at the moment.. but it was one about the Prophet salallaahu 'alayhi wasallamwantin to change a sahaabi's name because its meanin was bad or inappropriate (names of the jaahiliyyah) the Prophet then said : O' so & so change your name to this... the sahaabhiy said respectfully: I shan't change a name that was given to me by my father..
& The prophet salallaahu 'alayhi wasalam left him into it, without pressurising him into changin it.

The Hadeeth could be found in Bukhari's Adabul Mufrad.

 

[snakelegs]

^ thats plural for angels lol

:giggling: and here i thought it meant queen!
i guess farishta must be farsi for angel.

 

[lolwatever]

It also means just angel, but the female version of the word...

btw, Aasiyah means disobedient. :blind:



Not as strong as the name Muhammad... and how many Muhammads do we have! lol

aasiyah disobedient? lol no way, that's '3aasiyah wat ur thinking of i think :hiding:

disobedient starts with the '3ayn letter, aasiyah starts with alef.

[zircon]

Salam, what about hannah?:? it's near to Helena

 

[zircon]

...or maybe hanisah

 

[Mawaddah]

Hana ( or hannah ) is such a popular name with the Arabs

It means like happiness, glad tidings.

I personally have fallen in love with a name that my friend from Uzbekistan once told me. It's Shahnoza
Means Queen in that language...I'm thinking of having a daughter named Shahnoza lol (insha'allah)

 

[Ismahaan]

I like the names Amal (means hope), Nawal (means gift) Amatullah (female slave of Allah), Intisar (triumph) and Hiba (gift) and Munira (illuminating) but my favourite is MARIAM/MARIAMA

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]
