THAT Allah and angels send blessings upon the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) (al-Aḥzāb 33: 56) points to his exalted status. The Qur’ān directs us: “Believers, send blessings on him” (al-Aḥzāb 33: 56). It also indicates that Allah praises him and blesses his mission. Allah has exalted his name and fame. His name figures along with Allah in the credal statement of Islam:
and in acts of devotional worship by billions of Muslims. This again shows how widely he is praised.
Muslims have immense love and respect for Him. Little wonder then that according to The Columbia Encyclopaedia, Muḥammad is the most common given name in the world. More than 150 million males presently bear this name. All this underscores Muslims’ tremendous admiration for him. More significantly, it brings out the truth that he has been the most praised person in the annals of history.
We should recite ṣalawāt (benediction) as much as possible, particularly when his name is mentioned. This brings immense rewards from Allah.

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.

HE WHO PRAISED ALLAH
NOT only did the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) praise and glorify Allah profusely, he also did so in a befitting manner. In an extensive Ḥadīth it is related that all Messengers will direct the distressed people on the Day of Judgement to the Prophet Muḥammad (peace be upon him) for his intercession. He will prostrate before Allah and earnes...
