    Isra is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “night journey”, it refers to the Prophet’s journey from Mecca to Jerusalem. Isra is an acceptable name and it is also the name of one of the chapters of the Quran (ch. 17). It is an indirect Quranic name because the word “isra” itself is not mentioned in the Quran (the names of the chapters of the Quran are not considered part of the text of the Quran), but the root of Isra, which is S-R-A, is used multiple times in the Quran.

    Israel and Esrael are the same. The proof is right here. “S-R-A” does not have an I or an E. Therefore Jacob and the Angel of Death have the same name for some reason.

    I have been told that I am having a baby girl. I wanted to give her a name that represents the universe, the starts we see at night as I am interested in things like that. My son also who is 7 years old happens to be interested in the same things I have mentioned above even more than I do. I asked yesterday what name he would like to call his little sister. He said to me “Isra”. I have never heard of this band before. My son’s name is Isaac. I asked him were he got this name from. He said to me a girl at his Quran school. I then looked up for the meaning and found out that it is an indirect quranic meaning of a girls babe for the night journey. Not long ago I have learnt in details what took place on that night!. This is a special sign for me and my son and it I’ll be a perfect name for our daughter. I am totally in love with the name Isra now!.
