What is the meaning of the name "Aseel," and is it the tear of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Aseel" means smooth and level, or a long, flowing cheek. It is one of the descriptions of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for he had smooth cheeks. However, the meaning of this name as "the tear of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him," is incorrect.
