Muslims invoke the Prophet's ﷺ blessed names — including Taqiyu — when sending Salawat (blessings) upon him, an act of worship highly rewarded in Islam.
Each name reveals a unique dimension of the Prophet's ﷺ character and mission, helping students of Seerah understand his complete biography.
Many parents choose "Taqiyu" or names derived from it for their children, following the Prophet's ﷺ encouragement to take on blessed names.

May Allah send abundant blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions. Ameen.
