Answer:
Meaning of names
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 none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Ref:
Naziah
The Arabic term ‘Naziah’ means pride.
Ref:
Ruqaiyyah
The term ‘Ruqaiyyah’ is an elative of the Arabic term
‘Ruqya’ which means a spell or a charm; and ‘Ruqiyyah’ was the name the Prophet
(saws) chose to assign to one of his beloved daughters.
Ref:
Athar
The Arabic term ‘Athar’ would mean something which is neat
and clean.
Ref:
Irfaan
The Arabic term ‘Irfaan’ would mean gratefulness.
Ref:
Naser
The Arabic term ‘Naser’ would mean a supporter and
protector.
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,
