Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I heard that the name “mirha” \u0645\u0650\u0631\u062d\u0627 means arrogant? Is that correct, if so, then do we need to change the name or does it also have other meaning?<\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Arabic word (\u0645\u0631\u062d) means cheerfulness and happiness. It also means arrogance or pride.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah says in the Quran: –<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627 \u062a\u064e\u0645\u0652\u0634\u0650 \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0623\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0636\u0650 \u0645\u064e\u0631\u064e\u062d\u064b\u0627<\/span><\/p>\n

And do not walk upon the earth exultantly [in] arrogance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Surah Al-Isra, 17:37<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this verse, \u201c\u0645\u0631\u062d\u064b\u0627\u201d is used to discourage arrogance and excessive pride. While joy and happiness are generally positive traits, in this context, it refers to overindulgence or haughtiness, which Islam discourages.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is better to choose a name with an unambiguous meaning or the names of the mothers of believers, e.g., Khadijah, Ayisha, Hafsa, Safiya, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
