Akeem: AH-keem or Ah-KEEM (depends on dialect)
Rahim: RAH-heem
Rawiya: Rah/Raw-WEE-ya
Ziya: DHEE-ya.
(ah is pronounced like the "a" in apple; ee is not exceedingly long...it's a cross between ee and i.)
Rule of thumb with Arabic (this can vary, depending on your regional dialect) is that the emphasis falls on the second-to-last syllable.
