Only one companion’s name is clearly mentioned in the Holy Quran. Do you know who it is?

Hazrat Zaid (RA) is the only companion of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) whose name is directly mentioned in the Quran. He was a close and trusted companion of the Prophet (SAW). He was also like a son to the Prophet before adoption laws were clarified in Islam.

His name appears in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:37), where Allah talks about a special situation involving Zaid (RA), his wife, and the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). This verse came to guide people about adoption rules and clarify social customs.

The mention of Zaid (RA) in the Quran shows his importance and close relationship with the Prophet (SAW). No other companion’s name is clearly written like this in the Quran. Others are mentioned through stories or indirectly, but only Zaid (RA) is named directly.

This is a great honor for Hazrat Zaid (RA), and it helps us understand how Islam guided the Muslims in real life matters.
