Syed :An honorific title that indicates that my family are decedents from our Prophets family
Murtaza (Arabic: مرتضى), a common Arabic name, is a variant transcription of Murtada, "chosen".[1] It is an Islamic name that dates back to the time of Islamic prophet Muhammad. Pronunciation varies with accent, from native Arabic speakers to Asians. A commonly held meaning of the name is "He who (God is) pleased with".
Due to their rhyming nature, Murtaza is often confused with Mustafa (Arabic: مصطفى), meaning "the chosen one", an epithet of Islamic prophet Muhammad
(Also a nickname for the Prophets Nephew Hazart Ali which fyi happens to be my middle name)
Coincidentally my brother's name is Mustafa.
So essentially I am 'Chosen' and is pleased by 'The Power that Be' while my bro is the 'Chosen One' ....I guess he fights vampires and demons in the night then......
