2. Detailed Meaning of Raees

Raees is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “president”, “boss”, “leader”, “master”, “the best man among a group of men”. It is derived from the R-HAMZ-S (“head”, “main”) root which is used in many places in the Quran.

And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, “How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?” And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, “O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people.”
