Taha (name)

Taha (Arabic: طه) is the combination of two letters "Ta" and "Ha". It is the first verse of the surah Ta-Ha and one of the Muqattaʿat; thus the meaning of the name is unknown and, according to Islamic belief, it is the name of a secure secret held by God. Because the surah Ta-Ha begins with God talking to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, this name is used to refer to Muhammad and anyone who follows and looks for the right path.
