Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu

1. Mushik is an Arabic word from the root word ‘Shaq’ which means to find
someone or something eager or yearning. Mushiq-ur-Rahmaan means who finds
Rahmaan (Allah) eager. We advise that Mushtaq (one who is eager / yearning)
to be substituted for Mushiq.
2. Tahmin or Tahmina – we are unable to locate an entry for this word in our
dictionaries. The closest entry from the same root word is ‘Hamna’ or
‘Hamnaan’ meaning a small tick (used in the Arabic languages as a term of endearment)

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
