Question

My Daughter's name is Shafiah Mubasshirah & my son's name is Afraaz Ibn Ahmad. Is there anything wrong in these names. Please help me out from your vast knowledge on how to write their names in arabic and with correct, good meaning.

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

شَاْفِيَة means one who cures

مُبَشِّرَة means one who gives glad tidings

أَفْرَاْز means one who stands tall

اِبْن means son of

أَحْمَد means one who is highly praised

The names are suitable.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
