Courage Islamic Names — Muslim Names Meaning Brave & Courageous
Courage — Shuja'a — is among the most celebrated virtues in Islamic tradition. The Prophet ﷺ was famously described as the bravest person the Companions had ever seen — when battle was fiercest, he was closest to the enemy. Islamic courage is not recklessness but principled bravery: standing for truth when it is unpopular, defending the weak, and facing what must be faced without abandoning one's values.
