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

While popular in Arabic regions, Ijaz has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Ijaz, like the alternate spelling Ejaz, comes from the Arabic root '-j-z, meaning "inability." "I'jaz al-Quran" refers to the Quran's miraculous inimitability.

Reference Profile

Etymology

From the Arabic root ع-ج-ز (ʿ-j-z, 'to be incapable, inimitable'). I'jaz means 'inimitability' - a term of Islamic theology referring to the Quran's unmatched literary and linguistic quality, cited as evidence of its divine origin.

Islamic Significance

I'jaz al-Quran is the doctrine of the Quran's inimitability: that its language and composition cannot be matched by human effort.

Quranic Connection

The doctrine rests on the Quran's own challenge: 'produce a surah the like thereof' (2:23).
