I heard: > The names of the two hills As Safa and al-Marwa signify a stone, that is, an idol. Pagans ran between the two hills in order to touch and kiss Isaf and Naila. the idols, placed there as a means of acquiring luck and good fortune. -- Ibn Warraq, Why I Am Not a Muslim, 2003 I want to know, should I change my name, as Naila is name of idol mentioned in Quran? We do not worship any idols and have a belief that Allah is one and only one God. We were unaware of this thing earlier, but now when we got to know this, what should I do? Will I, or my parents, receive punishment from Allah (SWT) as meaning of my name is mention as idol worship here?
