Are you familiar with the meaning of names in the Arabic and Muslim cultures? If you are not here are some knowledge for you!. This article gives you some important information about naming in the Arab cultures in which also including Islamic names. There is no Arabic name without a meaning, something impressive. I mean it’s really great to have a meaning for your name, something that is related to a special even your parents went through, or something precious to the one who called you. Having a meaning to your name adds a special touch and relates you to your being in a nice way. I find it a lot better than having a name without meaning. Old Arab names usually are two types of names: one type for boys and the other for girls. For boys names should carry some sacred names or animal names to show power and dignity like Asad (Lion), Fahd or Nimr (Tiger), Laith or Osamah, or Ghadanfer (son a lion), or some words reflect power as Saif (sword), shuja’ (brave), for girls some of the birds and small animals are good names such as Khansa’, Ghazal (dear), Asfurah (bird), or flower. like Warda, Yasmine, Zahra or Fulla; they could mean a good smell of flower, e.g. Areej or Abeer. There are names that mean the singing of birds, like Taghreed, or the voices of Pigeons like Hadeel. You find names that mean the name of a sword, e.g. Saif, Mohannad or Hosam; or ones that are the synonyms of one of the names a lion is called with (since in Arabic you can find more than one word to address one thing with the same meaning), for example: Laith, or Dorgham. Jameel: beautiful, Latif:Nice, lulu’ah is an Arabic name means a pearl, Masa:diamond, and Dana:pearl or a planet, like Qamar, Shams or Kawkab,; or even a star like Najma for her and Najm for him. There are names that mean a high level like Sana’a or Ola. You can find names that express a certain feeling such as Sahar, Gharam or Hayam. There are ones that show appreciation like Shokran, Rida or Irfan, ambition like Monia, Amani, Ahlam and many other beautiful characteristics like Jamil, Jamal, Lutfi, Karam, Jude or Baha’a. Some name express the light of stars, moon, and shining like Nour, or Diya’a for light, or Najm ( star or Qamar (Moon)., , or Najm (satar) or Naiem (Paradise).
By the way, there are names found like Kareem, Mu’een or Nour, that are without the “Al” which equals “the” in English, only few names can be used as names for people without using the “Al”, for the “Al” is only used for addressing names of God. Some names are considered old, some are somehow modern, but it’s sad to see a lot of Arabs start to give up their great meaningful names and use ones that come from other cultures and other languages, believing it would be cooler that way. My name for example is Hasan and Hussein which means nice (The names of Ali’s sons). It’s used a lot, not a unique name, but I’m still proud of it .(The topic is a very interesting one, it needs more research and investigation) (775 words) www.hasanyahya.com

Blue Moods: Rough Guide to Soothing Hindi Sounds from IndiaIt's been 20 years since Ehsan Aman last sang in Kabul, since he last watched Afghan teenagers swoon over his love ballads, dancing till dawn to his Eastern melodies. But right now, in his homemade basement studio in his Burke town house, Aman can close his eyes and imagine that scene once more: a living room in Kabul, the old tape deck hauled out of storage and one of Aman's tapes popped in, a familiar tune once more lifting a family to its feet. Aman, who has called Virginia home for more than half his life, who long ago became an American citizen, savors each news clip of Afghans celebrating liberation from the Taliban by turning up the music the repressive regime had banned. Aman's career as a musician was just blossoming in 1980 when the Afghan regime banned his songs as "anti-government" and ordered him to deliver pro-communist lyrics. Aman, then 19, a member of Afghanistan's national tennis team and a recent graduate of Kabul University's engineering school, felt cornered. He ran. After a 12-hour trek over the border, he reached Pakistan; within a year, he made it to Virginia. Here, he has established himself as one of the top pop singers in the Afghan diaspora. His hits rank in the top 10 on sites such as afghanteens .net, and he is a highly sought performer many pockets of the US and Canada. This album includes 11 Tracks of ambient music, perfect for a dinner party, background music for your busines, while exercising or doing yoga, or just for relaxing around the house.
