God is my judge
Danyal is the Arabic and Persian form of the Hebrew name Daniel. It shares the same etymological roots, signifying that only the divine has the authority to judge the individual. While Daniel is a staple in Western cultures, Danyal is a common variation in Muslim-majority countries and among the global diaspora.
