Taufiq meaning
Taufiq (توفیق) is a Muslim boy's name of Arabic origin.
Divine help and guidance; success granted by God
Taufiq (توفیق) is the Arabic tawfīq, from the root w-f-q, "to fit, to agree". Steingass gives taufīq as things turning out favourably, help and success, and especially divine guidance or favour, the fulfilment of one's wishes, and the power or means to act. In the Quran the prophet Shuʿayb says, "my success comes only from God", wa mā tawfīqī illā bi-llāh (11:88), a phrase Muslims still use. Name lists give "success through God's help". The percussionist Taufiq Qureshi is a well-known Indian bearer.
