We named the baby as Mohammad Rayhan. There are two meaning for Rayhan:
- First, sweet smelling plant/flower. Its mentioned in Surah Ar-rahman (55)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ar-Rahman
"Ar-Rahman is often regarded as the 'beauty of the Quran', in accordance with a hadith: Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet Muhammad said, "Everything has an adornment, and the adornment of the Qur'an is Surah ar Rahman" [Bayhaqi in Shuab al Eiman]
The main theme of the Surah is giving manifestation and fruits to the attribution of Allah's mercy and grace, which is evident right from the beginning, till the very end."
- Second, in some web sites, the meaning is mentioned as "Favored by God".
On this occasion, I would like to thank my parents, Nishu's parents and all family members for their love and support. May Allah bless Rayhan with health, happiness and success !
