What is the ruling on being named "Murad," and was anyone among the Companions or the Tabi'un named by it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in being named "Murad" because it comes from "Arada" meaning "he desired a thing, he loved it, and he cared for it." It has been mentioned in the Holy Quran, and some scholars and hadith narrators have been named with it.
