Q: Is it true that Hazrat Yusuf's daughter name was Minsa? I've searched a lot haven't found any reference. Also what were his other daughters names?

Q: My question is this "mantasha and yasha" can be taken as girls name or not? And also tell me the meaning.

Q: Can we keep our new born son's name "Mumin"? Is it a common Muslim name?

Q: Please can you guide me as to whether the name zaara / zara is permissible. I believe it does not necessarily have to be an Arabic name so long as it has a good meaning and is kept by Muslims mostly.

Q: Can you please tell me which of these names is good for my daughter and the correct spelling in English. Aafreen, Atiyya, Habiba, Liba, Lubna, Midhaa, Nazneen, Shabana, Shaista, Shanza, Simrah, Tayyibah, uzma.
