Who is known by the title of Zun-Noorain?

Explanation

Hazrat Usman (R.A) earned the unique title "Zun-Noorain," meaning "Possessor of Two Lights," because he had the distinct honor of marrying two daughters of the Holy Prophet (PBUH): first Hazrat Ruqayyah (R.A) and, after her passing, Hazrat Umm Kulthum (R.A). No other companion held this distinction. This title reflects his close familial bond with the Prophet (PBUH) and his elevated status among the Sahaba.
