Mentioning the difference between the name Ahmad (peace and blessings be upon him) and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : A pretentious Christian came and said that our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . And this one who was sent from among the Arabs is named Muhammad, so this is not that one. We are now waiting until Ahmad comes. What is the answer? What is the answer?
The answer is that Ahmad is a name and Muhammad is a name, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has many names. So why was the word Ahmad chosen in the good news given to the Christians, rather than his name Muhammad, which his grandfather 'Abd al-Muttalib gave him? Listen, my brother. The wisdom of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is that Ahmad is a superlative name, meaning the most praiseworthy of creation for Allah, and the most praiseworthy of creation in attributes. So he is Ahmad in the sense of Praiseworthy, and Ahmad in the sense of Praising. It is a superlative name derived from Praising and Praiseworthy. It was given in this form so that those to whom 'Isa gave the good news would know that this man is the most deserving of people to be followed, because he is the most praiseworthy of people. Is that clear, everyone, or not? It is clear. So praise be to Allah, they have no argument. And listen to the established saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): meaning the community of the call to which the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) called, and they are all of creation after his sending. . May Allah and His Messenger be truthful. And may the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) be truthful without an oath, for he is the truthful one who is verified. And look at how he said: without saying "and understands what I called to." And it is necessary in establishing the proof that there be understanding of the proof. Mere hearing is not a proof unless there is understanding. As He (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Ibrahim 14:4] What? . If an Arab were sent to non-Arabs, the proof would not be established. And if a non-Arab were sent to Arabs, the proof would not be established. But the Jews and Christians, by mere hearing, the proof is established against them. Why? Because the Jews and Christians know the Messenger (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him) as they know their own sons. So mere hearing obligates them to follow him. And if they have ignorance like the common people among them, they must investigate, because they were informed about him, given good news of him, and his attributes were mentioned, so they knew him as they know their own sons.
after him his name is Ahmad
