Question:

My name is Kiran two proposals came for me one boy name is Waqar others name is Rizwan which one is good for me.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The criteria that should be considered in marriage is made clear by the Prophet Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) as he said: “If a man whose religion and moral conduct are pleasing to you proposes to you, then let him marry; otherwise there will be great mischief and corruption on earth.” ). [At-Tirmithi]

Therefore, you should choose the one who is known for his religion and good character regardless of his name.

Allah knows best.
