Question
Is Mizan a good name for a boy?
Answer
In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, the most Merciful
We are encouraged to name our children in a good manner in Islam, Meezan means in Qur’an; scales and instrument of weighing deeds on the day of Judgment. It is a Quranic name and suitable for boys. There’s no harm in naming your chile Meezan/Mizan.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّكُمْ تُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَسْمَائِكُمْ وَأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِكُمْ، فَأَحْسِنُوا أَسْمَاءَكُمْ
Translation*: Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam said, “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)*
And Allah knows best
