Prophet Muhammad’s name "Al Aqib" – the last in prophetic succession - is that no other prophet will come after him, he is the last, the seal of the Prophethood. The Prophet told his Companions, "I am Al Aqib, and there will be no prophet after me." Allah says, "He is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets" (33.40).

The Prophet’s name "Al Hasher" – the gatherer - it is because the people will be gathered at his feet. This name has also been explained as meaning that all people will be gathered before him because Allah says, "In order that you will be a witness above the people, and that the Messenger be a witness above you" (2:143). It has also been said that "gathered at his feet" is an indication of his precedence over all others. Allah says, "that they are standing on a sincere footing with their Lord" (10:2). "Gathered at his feet" has also been explained with the meaning in front and around him, and that it also refers to his prophetic way.

The Prophet tells us that he has five names. These names existed in the ancient scriptures and were known to their knowledgeable religious authorities. And Allah knows best.

The father of Moses Al Ashari tells us, the Prophet said, "I am Muhammad, Ahmad, of all the prophets I am the last to come, I am the Gatherer, the Prophet of Repentance, the Prophet of Heroism. "In another report it reads "The Prophet of Mercy and Rest."

Allah willing (inshaAllah), all these names are correct.

Allah speaks of His Prophet saying, "We have not sent you except as a mercy to all the worlds" (21:107). He also says, "to recite to them His verses, to purify them, and to teach them the Book and the Wisdom" (62:2.) Also, "And guides them to a Straight Path" (5:16) and He speaks of his qualities saying, "he is gentle, merciful to the believers" (9:128).

Prophet Muhammad spoke of his nation saying, "It is a nation that has been shown mercy." Of his nation Allah says, "they charge each to be patient, and charge each other to be merciful" (90:17).

In His Mercy, Allah sent Prophet Muhammad not only as a Prophet and a Messenger for his nation but also for all mankind, and the one who asks for their forgiveness. Allah made Prophet Muhammad’s nation one that shows mercy, and one to whom mercy is attributed. Prophet Muhammad commanded his followers to be merciful to one another and praised this quality in them saying, "Allah loves those of His worshipers who are merciful." The Prophet encouraged his followers to be merciful and said, "The Merciful loves those who are merciful, therefore show mercy to all upon the earth and whosoever is in the heavens will show mercy to you."'

The title "Prophet of Heroism" is an indication that he will fight.
