To Ahmed Andrew Verdal Lyngset

and other people I spoke to once and never again...

hi.

Ahmad: the most praiseworthy of those who praise Allah.

This is the celestial name of the Prophet (peace of Allah and blessings be upon him) of Allah, the Ever-Existing, the All-Powerful, 360,000 years before He created the creation, created from His divine Light a sacred light. That light upon light praised Allah before and during the creation of the heaven and the heavenly and the earth and the earthly. The inhabitants of the heavens named that light Ahmad. As his praise of Allah is greater than the praise of all that is created, he is called ahmad-al-hamideen – the greatest of all givers of praise.

Ahmad is the name by which the prophet of Allah (pbuh) is mentioned in the Gospel.

‘And when Jesus, son of Mary said, “O children of Israel, surely I am the messenger of Allah to you, verifying that which is before me of the Torah and giving good news of a messenger who will come after me, his name being Ahmad.”
(Surah Saff, 6)

In the Bible, Jesus (may Allah bless him) says:

‘I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you unto all truth, for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me.

(John 14:17)

The Spirit of Truth who speaks but Allah’s words is Ahmad.






good choice.
