Meaning and origin of Shafiqullah
Shafiqullah is a compound of the Arabic shafīq (شفيق), 'compassionate' or 'tender-hearted', and Allāh. The root sh-f-q carries the sense of tender care mixed with concern for someone's wellbeing, the kind of compassion a parent feels for a child. The compound is usually rendered as 'compassionate one of God', meaning a person whose kindness is connected to God, and it can be understood as Shafiq with the name of Allah added for blessing.
Names ending in '-ullah' are especially characteristic of Afghanistan and the Pashtun regions of Pakistan, where Rahmatullah, Habibullah, Hikmatullah and many others are common. In this tradition a familiar Arabic name is joined to Allah to give it a stronger religious tone. Shafiqullah is used among both Pashto- and Dari-speaking families, and among Afghan and Pakistani communities abroad. In Persian script it is written شفیقالله. The simple form Shafiq or Shafeeq is also widely used, and many men named Shafiqullah are called Shafiq in everyday life. Pronunciation is shah-feek-ool-LAH.
