Razwa

This name derives from the Arabic “Riḍwān,” meaning pleased, satisfaction, virtuous, pious, God-fearing, and devoted to God.” It is an indirect Quranic name for girls: the name of a mountain in al-Madinah, a city of the Prophet, peace, and blessings of God upon him. It is derived from the R-DHAD-Y (contentment, attainment of God’s pleasure) root, which is used in many places in the Quran. Mount Uhud is a mountain in the north of al-Madinah. It is (3,533 ft) high and was the site of the second battle between Muslim and Meccan forces. The Battle of Uhud was fought on 19 March, 625, between an army from the small Muslim community of Medina, in what is now northwestern Arabia, and a force from Mecca. According to Hadith, Ridwan is the name of the angel in charge of maintaining Jannah, Heaven, or Paradise. The Ridwan dynasty (also spelled Radwan) was the most prominent pasha family in Palestine and the southwestern districts of the Damascus Eyalet (“Province of Damascus”) in the 16th and 17th-centuries under the Ottoman rule.
