Misaq

Misaq (ميثاق, mīthāq) is an Arabic noun meaning 'covenant' or 'solemn pact' that occurs in Islamic scripture and classical Arabic usage. Notably, the noun ميثاق appears in the Quran in the context of covenants taken from prophets (see Aal-e-Imran 3:81). As a given name it is comparatively rare but used by families who prefer names with theological or ethical significance; it functions as a unisex name in some communities. Linguistically, mīthāq belongs to the Arabic lexical field of commitments and agreements and has equivalence in Persian and Urdu usage for the same concept. Parents selecting Misaq usually emphasize the spiritual meaning of covenant, trustworthiness, and commitment. Related names and terms in usage and naming contexts include [[Mithaq]] (alternate transliteration) and reflective names like [[Mahzun]] that draw on classical vocabulary; Misaq is also attested in Malay-speaking Islamic naming practices where Arabic nouns are commonly adapted as personal names.
