Full Meaning of Ta’mur

Ta’mur is an indirect Quranic name for boys that means “lion’s den or lair”, “heart”, “saffron”, “minister or secretary of a king”, “self”, and “mind”. It is derived from the  A-M-R root (“command”, “business”) which is used in many places in the Quran.

It is God who created the seven heavens and the same number of earths. His commandment descends among them, so that you may know that God has power over all things; and that He encompasses all things with His knowledge. (Quran 65:12)
