Rakan

A name for someone who is always there to lend a helping hand.

The name Rakan has cultural significance particularly in the Malaysian and Indonesian communities, as it is a name derived from Islamic traditions. In Islam, the term Rakib or Rakan can be found in multiple situations. One such reference is in the brotherhood of Ridwan and Israfel, two angels that assist Allah in the record keeping of human actions. Yet another reference is referenced in the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), where he mentions that a person is awarded two rewards whenever they help or assist someone else in fulfilling a good deed. Thus, the name Rakan in a cultural context signifies one who helps, supports, and assists others.
