About the name Izhan
Izhan (اذہان) is the Arabic adhhan, the plural of dhihn (ذہن): mind, understanding, intellect. Its literal meaning is "minds" or "intellects". Arabic also uses the word as a description of a sharp, wise person, so the name is linked with intelligence and understanding.
In Arabic the first letter is said with an a (adhhan), so Azhaan is the closer Roman spelling. Izhan and Izhaan are the spellings most used in Pakistan.
Is Izhan an Islamic name?
Izhan is an Arabic word with a good meaning. Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat explains it as the plural of zehn, also used to mean intelligent and wise, and says the name is permissible; it suggests Muhammad as the registered name with Izhan as the name the child is called by. It is not a name that appears in the Quran.
Izhan or Izaan?
Izhan (اذہان, minds) and Izaan (اذعان, acceptance, submission) are different words that look alike in English. Check the Urdu spelling before you choose: Izhan is written اذہان, with ذ (zaal) and ہ, not ز or ظ.
اذہان نام کا مطلب
اذہان عربی لفظ ہے جو ذہن کی جمع ہے۔ ذہن کے معنی عقل، سمجھ اور فہم کے ہیں، اس لیے اذہان کے لغوی معنی ذہن یا عقلیں ہیں۔ عربی میں یہ لفظ ذہین اور دانشمند شخص کے لیے بطور صفت بھی آتا ہے۔
نام کے طور پر اذہان کو ذہانت اور فہم و فراست سے منسوب کیا جاتا ہے۔ دارالافتاء اہلسنت کے مطابق یہ نام رکھنا جائز ہے۔ یہ نام قرآن میں نہیں آیا۔ کسی نام کے اچھے معنی بچے کی شخصیت کی ضمانت نہیں ہوتے۔
