\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAssalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh,<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t1.    Aahil means a ruler\/monarch.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t2.    I am not aware of any meaning for Zohaib.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t3.    Sharaheel is specifically a name, it was also the name of many hadith narrators.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t4.    Yameen means right hand\/right side.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t5.    Arham means the one who has the most mercy.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t6.    Mishkat means lamp.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever has a child, he should give him a good name and teach him how to read and write.”[1]<\/sup><\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tPart of giving a child a good name is to give a child a name that associates him with Allah, like the name Abdullah (the slave of Allah) or Abdurahman (the slave of Ar-Rahman) or Abduraheem (the slave of Ar-Raheem). These names are the most beloved names to Allah. Alternatively, you can name your child one of the names of the Prophets (peace be upon them).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/a>It is also encouraged to give your child a name that has a good meaning associated with it, like Munib which means one who repents to Allah, for example. One should refrain from choosing a name which bears a negative meaning as it goes against the teachings of the aforementioned hadith.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
