The Names of the Messenger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 12232 )
Q: I have a question regarding the creed of the Muslim, and I hope you will answer it. My question is this: A Muslim man had a discussion with one of the Christians about the creed of the Muslim and the Christian. Among the doubts this Christian raised about Islam was his statement: It is mentioned in your Qur'an that 'Isa, the son of Maryam , announced a messenger after him named Ahmad, yet your Prophet's name is Muhammad. This is a contradiction in your book. What is the answer to this question? May Allah reward you with good, so that we may defend our moderate creed, with Allah's permission. May Allah preserve you.
A: Ahmad is one of the names of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), because he has many names. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
