Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

AA

Wassalam

(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 name naila

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.

The literal meaning of ‘Nailah’ is an acquirer, earner, obtainer, gainer, winner, or one who succeeds; the term ‘Rahmaan’ means Most Gracious and is one of the Noble and Exclusive Attributes of Allah Subhanah; and the term ‘Cheema’ is obviously not from the Arabic language as there is no such alphabet or pronunciation as ‘cha’ in Arabic; thus probably the term is derived from the Persian or Urdu languages.

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
