Full Meaning of Vaseeilah

Vaseeilah is a direct Quranic name for girls that means “anything that brings you closer to Allah”, things like good deeds and avoiding sins. Vaseeilah is used twice in the Quran:

O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed. (Quran 5:35)

Those they invoke are (themselves) seeking the means for (close) proximity to their Lord, whichever of them will be nearer; and they hope for His mercy and fear His torment. Surely your Lord?s torment is a thing to be wary of. (Quran 17:57)
