Naming a child Raahil

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

May Allah make your child the coolness of your eyes and a means of reward for you in this world and the hereafter.

Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has said:

إِنَّكُمْ تُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَسْمَائِكُمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِكُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا أَسْمَاءَكُمْ

"On the Day of Resurrection you will be called by your names and by your father's names, so give yourselves good names.” (Sunan Abu Dawood : 4950)

“Raahil” (راحل) means a traveller or one who departs on a journey. [i]

The name Raahil is suitable.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
