Q: My son became Hafiz ul Quraan. At his jalsa the moulana said that he will tell him the meaning of his name on the next big day (his wedding day) because if he told it then his father will fight with them. My son's name is Naushaad. Please tell us what is the meaning of his name.

The name "Shasmeen"

Q: What does the name Shasmeen mean? Is it a good name to keep for a girl? Also I'm looking for a name for a boy that would not be mispronounced with regards to the correct tajweed pronunciation.
