ic concept rooted in the Qur'an
and the practices
of its founder Muhammad
. This idea of contentment is expressed in two Qur'anic verses which discuss the contentment of Allah
with believers and, conversely, of believers with Allah:
Muslims believe that Allah's pleasure with the servant is expressed through his gifts both material and spiritual and the servant's pleasure with Allah is the name of his obedience to Allah's commands and submission to his will. Rida on the part of the human also includes his determination to accept Allah's decree irrespective of whether it is favourable or unfavourable.
The name is very popular among the Shia community, especially in Iran

of Shia Islam, Imam 'Ali al-Ridha
, bore this name.

region, the name is spelled Reda, due to the French
influence during the colonial
times.
