It is interesting to note that in a tradition from Imam as-Sadiq (a.s) we read that ‘Taha’ is one of the names of the Noble Prophet (s.a.w) and means: ياَ طَالِبَ الْحَقِّ الْهَادِي إِلَيْهِ “O’ Seeker of The Truth (and) the guide to it.” From this tradition, it can be concluded that ‘Taha’ comprises of two cryptic letters: طا (Ta), which refers to: طَالِب الْحَقِّ meaning “Seeker of Truth” and ها (Ha), which alludes to أَلْهَادِي إِلَيْهِ meaning “The guide to it.” A final word in this regard is that the word طه (Taha) like يس (Yasin), with the passage of time, has gradually transformed into a proper name of the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a) such that the children of the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a) are also referred to as آل طه (The Children of Taha) as can been seen in the case of Imam Mahdi (a.s), who has been addressed as يابن طه (O’ Son of Taha!) in Dua’ al-Nudbah.
