حَنِيف

Hanif

Hanif is an Arabic name meaning 'true', 'upright', or 'devoted'[citation:8]. In ancient times, the name was closely associated with the pre-Islamic period of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) in Arabia. It was widely used to describe individuals who strictly adhered to monotheism and rejected the polytheistic beliefs prevalent in Arab society at that time[citation:8]. The famous figure Waraqah ibn Nawfal, a cousin of Prophet Muhammad, is regarded as a Hanif[citation:8]. The name carries the beautiful meaning of true devotion to one God and righteousness.
