The meanings of the names of the prophets

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

We often hear the beautiful names of the prophets such as Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, and Zechariah. We call our children by those names. But very few of us know the meaning of these names. Some refer to Arabic dictionaries to find out the meaning of these names. However, since most of the prophets were sent to the Children of Israel, their names are Hebrew.
