| [slm] this is almost scary... anyone get the feeling they just took a whole bunch of horoscopes and then just mixed em up ;D http://www.kabalarians.com/gkh/your.htm#links Jannah Your first name of Jannah has given you a quick-minded, sensitive nature. It gives you a creative ability in art, music, singing, or fancywork and an appreciation for refined surroundings. Your sociable nature expresses affection, kindness, and thoughtfulness to the extent that it is difficult for you not to be affected by others and governed by your emotions, rather than by logic and reason. As you respond to love and encouragement from others, your romantic and dreamy nature can easily lead you into love affairs. Your desire for peace at any price can result in going out of your way to avoid arguments and confrontation or hurting the feelings of others. Also, budgeting can be a problem as you enjoy spending money and can easily ignore being practical. Any health weaknesses would show in skin conditions, and also fluid problems affecting the glandular system and kidneys. |

| [slm], kinda wierd... :D The name of Red contains within it an intense emotional power that could drive you to put forth great effort to accomplish your ambitions and to do something noteworthy and worthwhile. There are humanitarian ideals in this name, making you feel the urge to champion the cause of the downtrodden, the victims of circumstances and injustices. However, it is difficult for you to materialize your ideals because of a restless, unsettled feeling which causes you never to know just what it is that you should be working toward, and the very intensity of your nature makes systematic concentration and application a challenge. You can have intensely contrasting feelings toward people, either you are fiercely loyal or extremely intolerant. There is rarely a happy medium in your feelings. Consequently, you experience many disappointments in people, tragedy, and the loss of the very things for which you may be intensely striving. Bitter experiences could make you cynical, critical, and argumentative. You find it difficult to see the brighter or humorous side of a situation. This name makes you nervous and highly strung, causing tension affecting your nervous system and solar plexus. |

Your ideas can be very original and inventive. You enjoy being with people in a social environment. Your personal appearance is important to you, for you desire to make a good impression on others. Your pleasant manner attracts people to you with their problems and you are capable of offering practical advice, though you would probably not follow such advice yourself. This name causes you to be somewhat too concerned with the personalities, problems, and activities of other people. You seem positive and decisive and can be outspoken in the expression of your opinions, but you lack the self-confidence needed to follow through with your ideas and plans. Procrastination is your downfall. You frequently choose the path of least resistance to avoid your responsibilities. It is not easy for you to overcome obstacles or face issues. This name does you an injustice in that it restricts your success in business and personal pursuits through a lack of ambition. There is a weakness in the fluid functions and in the region of the head resulting in sinus problems, headaches, eye, ear, or throat conditions and related ailments. |

| [slm] Freaky. Your name of (name) makes you easy-going and refined, but detracts from your physical vitality. You desire all the finer things in life--lovely clothes, home, furniture, and environment. However, procrastination is your worst enemy, and you find yourself lacking the ambition to make your dreams a reality. People are inclined to take advantage of your sympathetic, tractable nature. You naturally attract people with problems who seek your understanding and advice. You can give good advice although it is unlikely that you would follow it yourself. You would be most successful in situations where you can use your skills in diplomacy in handling people, but where you are not under pressure or required to carry responsibility and make decisions. It is difficult for you to be individual and make your own decisions, for you lack self-confidence. Procrastination!!!!! So true!!!!!! Wasalaam. SF. |

| [slm] Here's what mine said (I don't understand the fluid problems though). How did they come up with this? They did some analysis of people with certain names and saw patterns? ??? Your name of Arshad gives you the desire to understand and help others with their problems but, at the same time, you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. This name creates a pleasant, easy-going, yet responsible nature. It gives you a natural ability to express affection to those close to you, without feelings of embarrassment. You tend to avoid issues, however, and put off until tomorrow the things which should be done today. Accordingly, you would find difficulty in achieving success in positions requiring aggressiveness and drive. Also, you prefer to avoid strenuous work of a manual nature. Your natural inclination is to pursue a line of work where you have contact with people, where you carry some responsibility, and where you are engaged in mental rather than physical activity. You are diplomatic in your handling of people and always give others the benefit of the doubt. You appreciate good music and art. The health weaknesses created by this name affect the fluid functions. |

WOW mine is sooo true!! this is amazing! ADILAH Although your name of Adilah gives you a good appreciation of material values, business ability, and skill in organizing and managing others, your success is restricted by a lack of self-confidence and initiative. This name brings out a practical, materialistic quality, with a strong desire for a good standard of living in an environment where you are in contact with refined, successful people. You try to further your interests through pursuing the association of people with influence. Being well-groomed and well-dressed at all times is important to you as you always strive to make a good impression on others. Your interests are more focused on your social life and convivial living, with any pressing or difficult issues being put off as long as possible. Any weakness in the health would affect the fluid functions, and you could suffer through kidney trouble or female problems. salaams |

| Barr |
| 09/25/02 at 01:27:36 |
| I think I'm more of a Barr, than my real name (see in blue). Though both have some things that describe me, and some that's totally far outt! What do you think Umm Wafi? Your first name of Barr has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. As you are naturally talkative, you find it easy to meet and make friends with many people. This name inclines you to be sympathetic and generous to those in difficult or unfortunate circumstances. You can be firm, positive, and independent in your own ideas and in reaching your own decisions, yet when it comes to taking action or following things through to completion, you often need encouragement. You respond quickly to kind words or any appreciation shown you. There are artistic, creative abilities in this name that you could express through music or singing, or, in a practical way, through sewing or interior decorating. You enjoy freedom from monotony and are stimulated by unexpected opportunities for meeting people, entertaining, or pursuing activities of a carefree nature. In your work, you find it difficult to be neat and orderly. You rarely plan things ahead of time, or follow a routine. Emotion and feeling, the desire to be carefree, friendly, and happy, are the driving forces in your being, rather than shrewdness, ambition, and material success. You could experience headaches, or problems with your teeth, ears, eyes, or sinuses. Health weaknesses relative to the functioning of the liver could appear. [color=blue] The name of *** has given you organizing ability as well as an expressive, positive, and self-confident nature. You are able to work well with people and can capably direct their activities. You enjoy music and art, and love to meet and mix with people. An appreciation for quality has prompted you to strive for the best standard in dress, material possessions, and choice of food. On occasion, you can be intolerant and critical of others, quick to argue and to dominate situations. Though the name offers a fair degree of balance, you would have to watch that strong appetites do not find an outlet through excessive eating, causing overweight and resultant problems, or through emotional experiences which could create unsettled conditions in your personal life. Weakness in the health could centre in the female functions, or skin conditions could be troublesome. [/color] |

| [slm] Ok here goes altho I don't recognise who they are desribing he he, (PS what is female problems ?) Your first name of *blush* has made you a sociable person who appreciates the beauties of nature and the refinements of life, and is moved by music and the arts. You are very idealistic and romantic within yourself and may have tried to express your beautiful thoughts through poetry or writing. Crudeness and vulgarity are very repulsive to you and you are very particular about little things. You suffer greatly with lack of confidence and self-consciousness. You crave affection and understanding, yet because you can be so easily and deeply hurt, you have learned to keep your true nature hidden; therefore people do not really know you. You always wonder if you are doing the right thing, desiring to express yourself but afraid to. People may consider you haughty and aloof because of your sensitivity and reserved ways. You may find some expression abut it would usually be light conversation, rarely daring to reveal your deeper thoughts or take others into your confidence for fear of criticism or ridicule. You have a very kind and gentle nature, and although you may be in a position in contact with the public, you will still be a lonely and reserved person. Thus, you live much within your own thoughts, often finding your escape in reading, which you love to do. This name could cause you to suffer through a sensitivity in the fluid functions, causing female disorders, swelling of the legs and ankles, or general blood debility. There is also a weakness in the region of the heart and respiratory organs. Barr - Emm who was that u described in your post ? *innocent look* :-/ Wassalam |

| [slm] okay I was surprised coz on the whole it is true - but I have highlighted the lies in bold The name of Eleanor has made you rather reserved and, at times, secretive about your personal affairs. As a result, people find it difficult to understand you and you suffer through loneliness. You are interested in understanding life along scientific, religious, and philosophical lines. Also, you derive much enjoyment from reading and from being out in nature. At times, you find it easier to express your thoughts in writing, rather than verbally. You are astute regarding the value of money, have good business judgment, and can drive a hard bargain if such is required. This name has not allowed you to express fully the softer, more spontaneous qualities of your nature because of its practical business attributes. You are matter-of-fact in your attitude to things, not easily swayed by others, nor overly compassionate to the suffering of others. You are an ambitious person, have expensive tastes, appreciate quality in all things, and desire to have the best money can buy. You are inclined to judge things according to their material value. Weaknesses in the health through the use of this name could affect the heart or bronchial organs, or cause problems relative to the generative organs. |

| [slm] This is weird... big time but some of it is true.. wonder what they got that from anyways..... As A***, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way. You are responsible and generous, although somewhat scattering and disorganized at times. Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you. In your work, you would seek a position offering self-expression through contact with people, such as sales or teaching, or a position giving scope to your creative, artistic talents. You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems. Others sense your sincere interest and desire to help, and you can always be counted on to see the bright side of any problem. You enjoy making others happy and you never let your own problems "get you down" for any length of time, even though you do tend to worry too much at times. Your optimism can be a source of inspiration to others as well as yourself. In close personal relationships you are usually thoughtful and considerate. However, your natural interest in others, coupled with your sympathetic reaction to problems, could draw you into emotional situations which may be difficult to get out of. Health weakness would appear as skin conditions or ailments relative to the liver. A tendency to overeat quick-energy foods aggravates any health problems. |

It's pretty accurate in my case, except the "You appreciate good music" I used to, but don't listen to music anymore. Doesn't Kabalarian come from Kabbalah, the Jewish mystic tradition? [wlm] |

| i have this site on my subprofile...neat isn't it :-* here's wat i got (btw i haven't posted in a while so u can consider this as an intro since its sooooo true ;)) Your name of **** gives you a very idealistic but passive outlook on life. You desire culture and all the refinements of life but you are inclined to live in your dreams. Although you would like to do many things, procrastination undermines your accomplishment and success in life. You do not like to create issues and will do anything to avoid a conflict. Making decisions is difficult for you without the support and approval of others. This name gives you a very sensitive nature, making you feel much that you do not understand. Your feelings are easily hurt, at which times you are inclined to withdraw and become uncommunicative. Although you desire the friendship and association of others, you find it difficult to express your thoughts through the spoken word, and others find you hard to get to know. It is much more natural for you to express your deeper thoughts in writing. Inner tension can deplete your physical vitality. You are inclined to indulge in rich foods that lack proper nourishment. The physical weaknesses due to this name centre in the heart and respiratory organs, and in the fluid functions. |

| WOAHHHHH this stufff is weird!!! but its tru i wana go in business most of the rest dont make sense! The name of Mohammad creates an extravagant, ambitious nature with the desire for financial prominence. You desire the best in life and appreciate quality in all things. This name has made you rather aggressive, shrewd, and critical and has caused you to be extremely independent. You have the analysis, vision, and promotional ability to make progress. You could achieve heights of success in business, but there is also a factor which brings many forced changes and friction with people, which in turn offsets the success you could achieve. The more sensitive types of people find you overpowering at times. You tend to have too many irons in the fire and fail to complete your undertakings satisfactorily. Business success could be achieved, to a point, abut your personal life would suffer. It is not easy for you to relax because you feel so much drive. This name creates an intensity which could affect your stomach or create tension in the solar plexus, stomach, and generative organs. |

| Assalamu 'Alaikum, Looks pretty much like me :).............Wallahu 'Alam. The name ******* gives you a strongly independent and highly creative nature, with drive and ambition to have experiences and accomplish things out of the ordinary. You can work intently at whatever is new and holds your interest at the moment, but your interest wanes quickly when drudgery and monotony set in. Obstacles to your progress or restrictions on your freedom to act create a sense of frustration which may cause you to feel resentful and even rebellious. You can then become intolerant of others, and caustic and belittling in your expression, thereby imposing stress on your personal relationships. Although you have a clever, quick, capable mind, your progress in life is restricted by instability in your affairs and misunderstandings with people. Your impulsive nature can lead to actions which you later regret taking, or to accidents. Relaxation is elusive, and depletion due to nervous tension can develop to the point where you become subject to moods of depression and morbid thoughts. Nervous tension centres in the solar plexus, with nervous indigestion and stomach ulcers a possible result. Wassalam. |

| [slm] I don't know this sounds an aweful alot like tanjeem. Telling you what your personality will be like based on that. "Whoever approaches [u]an oracle[/u] or fortuneteller and believes in what he says, has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad." [Reported by Abu Hurairah and collected by Ahmad and Abu Dawud] [Sunan Abu Dawood vol.3, p.1095, no.3895] "The Salah (prayer) of whoever approaches a fortuneteller and asks him about anything will not be accepted for forty days and nights." [Reported by Hafsah and collected by Muslim] also [Saheeh Muslim vol.4,p. 1211, no 5440] "Whoever acquires knowledge [u]of any branch [/u]of astrology, has acquired knowledge of magic. The more he increases in that knowledge, the more he increases in sin." [Reported by Abu Hurairah and collected by Abu Dawud and Ahmad] Here is just a quick thing that proves fortunetelling is not only astrology as we see it today: Question: There are a group of people who treat illnesses by traditional medicine according to what they say. So when I went to one of them he said to me, "Write your name and your mother's name, then come bake to us tomorrow." Then when a person returns they say to him, "Verily you have such-and-such ailment, and your cure is such-and-such." One of them says that he uses the Words of Allaah in the treatment. So what is your opinion concerning the likes of these people, and what is the ruling on going to them? Seen. 'Ain. Ghain. (Initials of the questioner) Haa'il, Saudi Arabia Answer: Whoever does this matter in his treatment of illnesses, then this is a proof that he is using the Jinns, and he is claiming knowledge of the unseen matters. Thus, it is not permissible to seek treatment of ailments with him. Likewise, it is not permissible to go to him or ask him anything. This is due to the statement of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) regarding this category of people, "Whoever goes to a soothsayer and asks him about anything, no Salaah (prayer) will be accepted from him for forty nights." This was recorded by Muslim in his Saheeh. It is also confirmed from him (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) in a number of hadeeths that it is prohibited to go to fortunetellers, soothsayers and magicians, and it is prohibited to ask them anything, or to believe them. And the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "Whoever goes to a fortuneteller and believes in what he says, then indeed he has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam)." [Translator's Note: This hadeeth was reported by Ahmad, At-Tirmithee, Abu Dawood, Ibn Maajah and Ad-Daarimee with slight variations in wordings and with additions. The version the Shaikh quotes here is closest to the wording reported by Ahmad with the exception that Ahmad added, "a fortuneteller or a soothsayer..." , and the rest is the same. All of it's narrators are reliable and the hadeeth is authentic.] And everyone who claims knowledge of the unseen by casting stones, or shells, or drawing lines on the ground, or asking the sick person about his name, and the name of his mother, or the names of his relatives, all of that is proof that he is one of the soothsayers and fortunetellers. And they are those whom the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) prohibited asking them about anything and he prohibited believing them. Thus, it is obligatory to beware of them, and to beware of asking them anything, and to beware of seeking treatment with them, even if they claim that they perform the treatment with the Qur'aan. This is because it is from the customary practice of the people of falsehood that they play tricks and deceive people. Therefore, it is not permissible to believe them in what they say, and it is obligatory upon whoever knows anyone of them to report him to the authorities, like the judges, and the rulers, and the centers for commanding good and preventing evil in every land. This is so that the law of Allaah can be carried out upon them, and so that the Muslims will be safe from their evil, and their corruption, and their devouring the people's wealth in falsehood. And Allaah is the One Who is sought for help, and their is no power or strength except with Allaah.

| [slm] i think everyone knows this is a sham. i mean, who doesnt want to believe that they are "quick-thinking and creative"? but for some reason my description has come out as rather negative which is unusual cos horoscopes/astrology are normally so much more complimentary. I'm guessing that the random word generator was feeling rather cranky today! :D se what ya think... Your name of Nafisa creates an intense desire for association with people and new experiences, many of which have been rather bitter. This name has given you a gregarious personality and a quick-thinking, creative, and versatile nature, but one that is unstable emotionally. You desire change and travel and would enjoy opportunities that allowed you to be creative and to act independently, rather than to conform to system and routine. However, this name does not allow you to complete your undertakings, as farther fields always look greener. Although you may appear confident and positive, you actually lack confidence and feel self-conscious at times. This name spoils patience and depth of thought, and weakens your stand in matters of principle. You are too open to suggestion, and thus you could become involved in detrimental associations which could lead you into by-paths of thrill-seeking or emotional indulgence. Any weakness in your health would appear in the fluid functions as kidney, bladder, or circulatory problems. or in a sensitivity affecting your stomach. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- load of old cobblers really innit? |

This sounds like tanjeem. If it is then it is borderline kufr. Names, stars, numbers,etc don't give us anything or take from us anything. And peace i don't want to start an argument. It is a reminder for those who want it. And one in front of Allah i did say. that's all. |

| [slm] I stand by my original statement. they don't add/subtract harm/benefit. It is a sunnah to give good and nice names. it is sunnah to change a bad name to a good one. But from the Quran: 006.071 YUSUFALI: Say: "Shall we indeed call on others besides Allah,- things that can do us neither good nor harm,- and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? - like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, come to us', (vainly) guiding him to the path." Say: "Allah's guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds;- 010.106 YUSUFALI: "'Nor call on any, other than Allah;- Such will neither profit thee nor hurt thee: if thou dost, behold! thou shalt certainly be of those who do wrong.'" 010.107 YUSUFALI: If Allah do touch thee with hurt, there is none can remove it but He: if He do design some benefit for thee, there is none can keep back His favour: He causeth it to reach whomsoever of His servants He pleaseth. And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |

Did he do things (much less *command others* to do things) that had no purpose or benefit? If there was no benefit that came out of changing the names of the people, why did he do it? Similarly, if there was no harm in the person carrying a name like Harb [war] or Hazn [calamity], why did he advise the people to change those names (and others like them)? Furthermore, If Rasulullah (saw) said specifically and clearly that the most beloved names to Allah (awj) are Abdullah and Abdul Rahman (Sahih Muslim), for example, I ask you: what is more beneficial than carrying a name that brings the Love of Allah (awj)?! There is clearly a benefit that comes from having good names with good meanings, and harm that comes from having bad names with bad meanings. If this was not the case, we would not have such a big number of authentic ahadith about incidents where Rasulullah (saw) talked about naming people. Wallahu ta'ala a'lam. P.S. Of course there is nothing in our Deen based on which we an make the kinds of analysis and deductions made in the above kabalarian link, but that is not what I am talking about. My point is simply to advise that we should be careful in what we say, and be careful of sweeping generalizations and being careless with our words. Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. |

| [slm] I wish we would do that too. A benefit that come from doing something or having somehting is not from it in itself. My train of thought on this with your own analogy of the prophet [saw] like when he tells us not to worship a statue. It is not because it (the statue) brings us harm or benefit. There is good in all the instructions of the prophet [saw] but only Allah can decide and make what harms and what benefits. I think we do agree, but there is a miscommunication somewhere. Obviously evil is not from Allah. But i don't believe just because doing something is good or that a thing is good, that it is a cause of good unless Allah wants it to be not because right away naturally it is so. and vice verse. Just like these names predictions of personality ailments life,etc. |

| [color=Blue]Oh, wow!! The Arabic name my fiancees mother calls me and my real name have the exact same profile!! Interesting...but most of it sure is true... The name of Ameera has given you an appreciation for many beautiful and refined aspects of life--music and art, literature, drama--and the outdoors, where you find much peace and relaxation, but it creates a far too sensitive nature. You sense and feel much that you do not understand, and sometimes you are alarmed at your thoughts and wonder about their origin. You rarely experience the tranquility that comes with stability of thinking or emotional control. At times, you are very inspired, desiring to be with people and to entertain others as the "life of the party," while at other times you are aloof and choose to remove yourself entirely from association. You crave understanding and affection but your intensity of desire and your self-consciousness prevent you from finding the happiness you desire. You have suffered many disappointments and misunderstandings because of your inability to express your inner thoughts. You could experience sensitivity in the heart, lungs, or bronchial organs, causing tuberculosis, asthma, or depletion of your energies. [/color] |

| [slm] :-) [tt]bsm[/tt] On the subject of names, does a Muslim's name have to be of Arabic origin? I was just curiuos because some people i know make an issue of this (especially when someone reverts to Islam). But the curious thing is that these very people do not realise that some of THEIR OWN names are of Urdu origin :D If I apply logic to this, it would mean that the language that your name is derived from is of no import as long as it has a good meaning of sorts??!!?? And also, what does one mean when they say that ones name has a good DARJAH??!!?? [tt]confusion reigns[/tt] :-/ |
