Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalam alaikum, Brother

I really appreciate ur efforts towards the noble cause and hope that Allah Subhanahu will reward u the best. My question is, MY name is Mohammed Sayeeduddin and i very curious to know the meaning of my name for which kind act i would be grateful to u. Please do reply at the earliest

Answer:

Meaning Saeeduddin

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 term and name ‘Mohammed’ means the ‘one who is praised’ or ‘the one who is commendable’.

The Arabic term and name ‘Saeed’ means fortunate, happy, blissful, and auspicious; thus ‘Saeed-uddeen’ would means ‘The fortunate or auspicious of the faith’.

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

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
