رحمہ

رحمہ عربی اصل کا نسائی نام ہے جس کا مطلب 'رحم' اور 'شفقت' ہے۔ یہ اللہ کے ناموں 'الرحمن' اور 'الرحیم' سے ایک ہی جڑ سے ماخوذ ہے۔ یہ نام اسلام میں گہری مذہبی اہمیت رکھتا ہے، کیونکہ رحم اللہ کی سب سے اہم صفات میں سے ہے۔ قرآن کا آغاز 'بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم' سے ہوتا ہے، جو رحم کی اہمیت کو ظاہر کرتا ہے۔ یہ نام ہمدردی، مہربانی اور بھلائی کی اسلامی اقدار کی عکاسی کرتا ہے۔
