In the Koran, Allah calls His Prophet by many blessed names, some we have already mentioned. Amongst those not mentioned are the: Light, Luminous Lamp, Detailing Warner, Warner, Bearer of Glad Tidings, the Detailing Bearer of Glad Tidings, Witness, Witnesser, Manifest Truth, Seal of all the Prophets, Compassionate, Merciful, Trusty, Mercy to all the worlds, Blessing of Allah, Firmest Tie, Straight Path, Generous, Unlettered Prophet, and the Inviter to Allah. (Shaykh Darwish commented: This is because no ordinary person, regardless of his rank or depth of knowledge is fit to judge the prophets who are far higher than ordinary humans in all aspects especially their unseen qualities.)
The Prophet has many other attributes as well as majestic names. Some are mentioned in the ancient scriptures and also in the scriptures of the prophets.
In the Prophet's sayings one finds many names frequently used by his Companions and followers. These include names such as the: Chosen, Selected, Abu'l Kasim, the Beloved, Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds, Accepted, Intercessor, the Fearfully Aware, Amender, Truthful, Confirmer, Guide, Master of the Children of Adam, Master of the Messengers, Leader of the Fearfully Aware, Leader of those whose forehead and feet shine from the traces of ablution, Beloved of Allah, Friend of the Merciful, Possessor of the Visited Pool, Intercessor, the Praiseworthy Station, Possessor of Means, the Excellent and the High Degree, Possessor of the Crown, Ascended, Banner and Staff, Rider of Burak, the traveler at the speed of light, Owner of the She-Camel and the Fine Camel, the Possessor of Proof, Power, Seal, Sign and the Evidence, Possessor of the Staff and the Possessor of the Two Sandals.
In previous scriptures the following names are found: the Relied Upon, the Chosen, the Establisher of the Prophetic Way, the Pure, the Spirit of Purity, the Spirit of the Real. In the Gospel he is referred to as, "the Paraclete". Tha'labah explained that the Paraclete is the one who distinguishes between truth and falsehood.
The preceding suffices as brief glimpse at his blessed names, titles and qualities of which there are many more.
Allah Honors the Prophet with some of His Names
The Honor of Allah to the Prophet by gifting him with some of His own Beautiful Names and by describing him with some of His own splendid qualities
We are told in the Holy Koran of the honor Allah bestowed on many of His prophets by gifting them with some of His Own Names. For example, he called Prophets Ishmael and Isaac "Alim" meaning the "knowing" and their father Prophet Abraham "Halim" meaning the "forbearing". Prophet Noah was bestowed with the name, "Shakur" meaning "thankful" and both Prophets John and Jesus were given the name "Barr", meaning "devoted". Prophet Moses was blessed with the names "Karim" and "Qawwi" meaning "noble" and "strong". Prophet Joseph was given the name "Hafidh Alim" meaning the "knowing guardian", and Prophet Job was named "Sabur" meaning the patient. Prophet Ishmael
