HE WHO PRAISED ALLAH MUCH

THE Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) holds the distinction of having praised Allah most by his acts of worship and by accomplishing the mission of Islam, which has enabled billions of people to recognize and worship and thus praise Allah.

Another remarkable point, according to the Qur’ān, is that the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) announced the Prophet’s advent, saying that his name will be Aḥmad: “O children of Israel, I am Allah’s Messenger to you. I give you the glad tiding of a Messenger who shall come after me, his name being Aḥmad.” (al-Ṣaff 61: 7).

The Prophet (peace be upon him) referred to it as one of his distinctions that Allah had named him Aḥmad (Al-Tirmidhī, Al-Shamā’il Al-Muḥammadiyyah, Bāb Mā Jā’a Fī Asmā’ Rasūl Allāh, 356).

Like Muḥammad, Aḥmad happens to be a favourite name among Muslims. Out of their love and esteem for the Prophet (peace be upon him) Muslims regard it as their great privilege to name their beloved babies after him.
