What is the meaning of the names: Aisha, Islam, Jarir, Iqbal?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The name "Aisha" is a good Islamic name derived from the verb "asha" meaning "to live." The name "Islam" is taken from the religion of Islam, and its meaning is submission and surrender to Allah alone, indicating obedience to Allah's command in word, deed, and belief. The name "Jarir" means "rope" or the halter of a she-camel. The name "Iqbal" comes from arrival and coming, interest and diligence, and welcome, and includes the beginning of good or righteousness. All these names are good, and it is permissible to be named with them.
