In a well-known hadith, Muhammed advises Muslims that, "On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers; so keep beautiful names." Inspired by the teachings of Islam, names fulfill the cherished ambitions of a true Muslim.

This lively and informative dictionary lists the original Arabic, Persian, or Turkish spelling, as well as a precise English transliteration.
