Answer:

 

Meaning 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 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.

 

Ref: Khadijah

The literal meaning of the Arabic term ‘Khadijah’ means a premature child.  Khadijah was also the name of the first and most beloved wife of the Prophet (saws).

 

Ref: Rabia

The literal meaning of the Arabic term ‘Rabia’ means spring or spring-time; and was also the name of one amongst the noble female Sahabeeyaah of the Prophet (saws).

 

Ref: Zainab

The literal meaning of the Arabic term ‘Zainab’ means a fragrant or sweet smelling flower; and was also the name of the beloved daughter of the Prophet (saws).

 

Ref: Aisha

The literal meaning of the Arabic term ‘Aisha’ means living, alive, well-to-do, and prosperous; and was also the name of the one of the beloved wives of the Prophet (saws).

 

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
