Full Meaning of Saaphyeh

Saaphyeh is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “pure”, “virtuous”, “untainted”, “innocent”. It is derived from the SAD-F-A root which is used in many places in the Quran.

[And can] the parable of the paradise which the God-conscious are promised [a paradise] wherein there are rivers of water which time does not corrupt, and rivers of milk the taste whereof never alters, and rivers of wine delightful to those who drink it, and rivers of honey, purified, and the enjoyment of all the fruits [of their good deeds] and of forgiveness from their Sustainer -: can this [parable of paradise] be likened unto [the parable of the recompense of] such as are to abide in the fire and be given waters of burning despair to drink, so that it will tear their bowels asunder? (Quran 47:15)
