Pearl of Wisdom

'Greed is worse than miserliness because a miser is parsimonious in spending what he has, whilst a greedy man covets that which others possess in addition to what he himself possesses, such that whatever he sees in the hands of others he wishes to be his lawfully or unlawfully. He cannot be satiated, and nor does he derive any benefit from what Allah has granted him.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Tuhaf al-'Uqul, nos. 371, 372

Question : #448 Category: Miscellaneous
Subject: naming a child
Question: ASSALAMVALAIKUM,can we put the name SHERAZ AHAMED to newly born child & please give me the meaning according QURAN
Answer: You may place such a name on newly born child.

Sheraz or Shiraz is a Muslim male name referring to one as sweet.
Ahmed is also a Muslim male name which means one that his highly praised, such as one who has dhikr of Allah (swt).

The name has its origins in a prophecy from Jesus Christ, mentioned once in the Quran in Surah 61: The Ranks.

61:6 And [this happened, too,] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O children of Israel! Behold, I am an apostle of God unto you, [sent] to confirm the truth of whatever there still remains of the Torah, and to give [you] the glad tiding of an apostle who shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed."

But when he [whose coming Jesus had foretold] came unto them with all evidence of the truth, they said: "This [alleged message of his] is [nothing but] spellbinding eloquence!"
