If you are looking for a strong and significant name for your son, Furqan is a standout choice. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Criterion (Quran)', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

In Arabic culture, names are more than labels; they are prayers. Furqan is widely respected for its positive connotations. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Furqan comes from the Arabic root f-r-q, meaning “to distinguish” or “to separate.” “Al-Furqan” (The Criterion) is used in the Quran as a title for the revelation itself, for its role in distinguishing truth from falsehood, and is the name of Surah 25.
