One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

what is meaning of name insiya

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Meaning of name Inseeyah

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

The Arabic name ‘Inseeyah’ is derived from the root word ‘Nasiya’ which means to forget or be forgetful. The Arabic and Quranic term ‘Ins’ or ‘Insaan’ which is used for mankind is also derived from the same root word ‘Nasiya’; describing the nature of man, who constantly forgets or is forgetful of the favors of his Lord.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
