^ nothing wll happen to the baby if its not a “Muslim” name. what happens to the baby is written in their Qismat and thats not something we decide. a “Muslim” name has a good/positive meaning. thats it. its not restricted to culture or geographical area since Muslims are all over the world. what I found for Zarish was that it was an Australian baby boy’s name and it means “shining flower”. if you are uncertain about the meaning, and its something that matters to you, ask someone from your local mosque to verify.

Well said :k:

Thanks Faris Udeen do you think its ok to name the baby Zarish? actually i dont understand one thing…i usually here names should be a muslim name so my question is how are muslim names? and how do we know its muslim name? i also hear like if the name is not a muslim name then something can happen to the baby…

Personally I think all names are okay so long as they are not indecent or Islamicly unnaceptable. For example in Germany many male names have the word Swine, Svien, Swiess or Sevine which obviously they dont mind Swine being a symbol of power and masculinity… however few Muslims would want to call thier child after an animal that is objectionable.

I see no reason to object to any decent name and Zarish has nothing un-Islamic about it. There really no such thing as an “Islamic name” unless that name or title was specificly named after a famous Muslim… many of the first Muslim converts and reverts had names which pre-dated Islam. That said my own ancestors retained names that were non Arabic and often seemed questionable.

I know many Muslim Rajputs who kept thier original surnames and even first names…

As somegroovychick said best to ask your local Alim. From what I know Zarish is not a bad name and sounds good. I would not object to naming my own child that name if i had no more ideas.
