2011-08-15T14:57:07+00:00

There are several attributes and Names of Prophet peace be upon him in Qur'an and Sunnah. I just tried to quote references from Qur'an and Sunnah where the names of Holy Prophet peace be upon him are mentioned. sh Muhammad Ayyub Keelani said in his book Asma al Husna page 14

There are many names of Prophet peace be upon him in Quran and sunnah. How much are they? We have to do research on this. There is no clear Quranic verse or hadith which talks about his exact number of names. Some of the people of knowledge tried to compile his names from the Book and the Sunnah. Shams ud din Sakahawi (d 902h) made whole chapter on his names in his Book "Al Qawl al Badee fe Salaah al-al Habib ash-Shafee" and wrote the opinion of some scholars that the names of Prophets are ninety nine like Allah subhana wa tala... Sakhawi himself wrote 450 names of Prophet peace be upon him in his book but he also cleared that there are many names among the names of prophet peace be upon him which are attributes of Prophet and not the exact names. The scholars made his name from his attribute.(end)

11. Khatim al Mursaleen (Seal of the messengers)

This name is because Allah completed the religion of Islam on him. Allah says,

This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. [5:3]

Ibn Katheer Commented under the verse 33:40]

This Ayah clearly states that there will be no Prophet after him. If there will be no Prophet after him then there will surely be no Messenger after him either, because the status of a Messenger is higher than that of a Prophet, for every Messenger is a Prophet but the reverse is not the case. (end quote)

After this verse was revealed nothing was revealed regarding Do's and Dont's (Halal and Haram) and the Messengerof Allah peace be upon him died after 2 months and 21 days
