Zulfiqar

Zulfiqar "bifurcated"" (Arabic: ذو الفقار‎ Dhū l-Fiqār) is the sword of the Islamic leader ‘Alī. In Arabic the name is commonly transliterated as Dhu al-Fiqar, Thulfeqar, Dhulfiqar, Zoulfikar etc. The scimitar is one of the oldest and best known symbols of Islam, and is particularly important to Shī‘ah, Alevi and Sufi.

Meaning

The name is variously explained, but is generally thought to mean "cleaver of the spine"^[1], "the two-pronged one" or "double-edged one". It has later also been interpreted as "sharp distinction between right and wrong" or "the one who distinguishes between right and wrong", or "trenchant".
