One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
my
name is dooa my teacher told me that it is a wrong name i want to ask that my
name right or not if not please tell me
why?

Answer:
Name dua
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 the term ‘dua’ or ‘dooa’ means a
supplication; and there is absolutely no harm and no restriction in Shariah,
and perfectly acceptable in Islam if one wishes to assign the name ‘Dua’ or
‘Dooa’ to a believing female.
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
