In religious context, this name is interpreted as satisfaction or 'perfect contentment with God's will or decree'. The name is neutral and not one used only by a particular sect, and is used widely by Iranians, Arab Christians and Arab Druze. According to Annemarie Schimmel, 'riḍā is closely related to shukr'; 'shukr' is an Arabic term denoting thankfulness and gratitude.
