Before Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), there was “no person on earth” who had “this name as his name.” Today, more than 400 million people in the world have his name as their name. No name has been given to men in such large numbers other than the name, Muhammad.
Muhammad means ‘The Most Praised One’. Muhammad is the most recited name in the world. The name is eulogized billions of times every day by devout Muslims in the four corners of the world. The name, Muhammad is glorified aloud, with respect and reverence, each time the call for prayer is given at each and every mosque in the world five times a day. Be it Africa, the Americas, Australia, Europe or the continent of Asia, Muhammad’s name is loudly proclaimed as the Prophet of God.
All this is not just the case in the 21st century; this has been the practice of his followers over the last more than fourteen hundred years. Muhammad occupies pivotal place in the heart, mind and soul of a Muslim.
Allah says in the Qur'an:
“Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. O you who believe, send your blessings on him and salute him with all respect”.
