Keeping names of the mothers of Ambiyaa

· 2 Muharram 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I would like to know what girls names are most virtuous to keep. I have 2 daughters Aaminah and Maryam. The 3rd I would also like to keep a prophets mothers name, any suggestions. What does Maseehah mean?

Answer

Keep the name Hawa or Hajra or Saarah. Hazrat Hawa (alaihas salaam) was the mother of the Nabi, Shees (alaihis salaam). Hazrat Hajra was the mother of the Nabi, Ismail (alaihis salaam) and Hazrat Saarah was the mother of the Nabi, Ishaaq (alaihis salaam).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
