What is the literal meaning of the name "Shees"?
شیث کا لفظی مطلب کیا ہے؟
(A) A Prophet of Allah
(B) The inheritor of Earth
✓ (C) A gift from Allah ﷻ
(D) A source of knowledge
Explanation:
The name Shees (Arabic Shayth) literally means “gift” or “gift of Allah.” Classical sources note that Allah granted Adam a son after the tragedy of Abel, so Adam called him “Shees” meaning a godsend. He is even referred to by the epithet Hibat Allah (هِبَةُ اللّٰهِ) – “Allah’s gift”. In other words, Shees’s very name commemorates that he was a precious gift from Allah bestowed on Adam (A.S.) after Habil’s martyrdom.
