I have no idea who is continuingly changing this article, but this persistence that Rayan or Rayyan originally came from Hindi, is wholeheartedly wrong. Hindu names either derive from Dravidian or Sanskrit based languages, and Rayan had no application in any area in India before contact with Arabs

the first time i read this articile on "rayan" there was a mention of which sura in the quran 'rayan" is mentioned, but i can't seem to find it anymore. can anyone help me\/? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.227.106 (talk) 20:28, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
