"Have We not opened your breastfor you (O Muhammad)? And removed from
you your burden. Which weighed down your back? And have We not raised
high yourfame?" (The Quran, 94:1-4)
These verses were revealed during the early part of the Prophet's life
in Makkah, when hewas in such a weak and difficult position that he
could not even move about in the city, preach or pray freely. The Holy
Quran in this background states that his name has been exalted with
great esteem. Let us see how Allah has raised the status of Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Muhammad is the most popular name in the world. A very common practice
amongst Muslims is to have Muhammad asthe first, middle, or last part
of their names. This is a unique honour that Allah gave only to
Muhammad (peace be upon him).Millions of Muslims have always carried
this name, making it the most widely known and repeatedname throughout
the world.
In addition, Allah has made Prophet Muhammad's name an integral part
of the basic Kalimah(article of faith) of Islam. Every practising
Muslim recites this kalimah as a daily routine of his life. Countless
persons thus reciteProphet Muhammad's name countless times, every day
in their lives.
Moreover, Allah has made Prophet Muhammad's name an integral part of
Adhan which is regularly called from each mosque throughout the world
five times a day before prayers. Due to the oval shape of the earth,
there is always a city where a certain prayer times begin. As a
result, no hour passesby where Prophet Muhammad's name is not called
out in this world!- -e-p - ▓███▓ Translator:->
