Full Meaning of Faiaz

Faiaz is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “constant doer of good deeds”, “giver of great charity”. It is derived fro the F-Y-DHAD- Quranic root (overflow, flood), being an idiom for a person from whom charity and good deeds come in great numbers. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him and his companions, used Faiaz as a nickname for Talha bin Ubaidullah after Talha bought a water well and gave it away to people for charity.

When [the humble Christians] listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears, because of the Truth they recognize. They say, ‘Our Lord, we believe, so count us among those who bear witness. (Quran 5:83)
