I'm a Muslim living in the United Kingdom and I would like to ask what the name Tasneem means. I chose it for my daughter from an Islaamic book and its also in the Qur'aan, I know the meaning for it is paradise fountain but people kept telling me it means alcohol so I would like to make sure of this. Please reply back as soon as possible.

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

There is no harm to name your child "Tasneem". This is the name of one of the most honorable drinks of the inhabitants of the Paradise. It is poured on them form the heights. Literally "Tasneem" means 'highness' it does not mean wine.

Allaah knows best.
