The Prophet himself said: "I have five names: I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am Al-Mahi (the eraser) by whom Allah erases disbelief, I am Al-Hashir (the gatherer) at whose feet people will be gathered, and I am Al-Aqib (after whom there is no prophet)." (Sahih Bukhari & Muslim).

Q3.What is the meaning of the name Muhammad?

The name Muhammad comes from the Arabic root 'hamd' (حمد) meaning praise. Muhammad means 'The Praised One' or 'one who is praised repeatedly and consistently.' It is mentioned four times in the Quran (3:144, 33:40, 47:2, 48:29). The Prophet is praised by Allah, the angels, and all of creation — making this name uniquely fitting for the final Messenger.

Both names come from the root 'hamd' (praise). Muhammad means 'the one who is praised' — indicating the praise others give him.

Ahmad was the name prophesied by Prophet Isa (Jesus) AS in the Quran (61:6) when he foretold the coming of the final Prophet.

Q5.What is the virtue of sending blessings upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ?

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah sends ten blessings upon him, erases ten sins, and raises him ten degrees." (Sahih Muslim).

Q7.What does Al-Mustafa mean as a name of the Prophet ﷺ?

Al-Mustafa (المصطفى) means 'The Chosen One' or 'The Selected One.' It comes from the Arabic root 'safwa' (selection, choice). This title reflects that Allah personally chose Muhammad ﷺ from among all of humanity to be the final Messenger — the most honored of all creation.

Q8.Can I name my child Muhammad or Ahmad after the Prophet ﷺ?
