Question

My baby girl was born 6 days ago on 10th September 2013. I am confused in deciding her name. Can you please tell me what we should name
her? AMANI or ASMARA are the 2 options.

Answer

Keep simpler names, the names of the Sahaabiyyah women, like Faatimah, `Aaishah, etc.

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