Of the Prophet's name "Al Mahi" – the eraser - the one who would erase disbelief, it has been said that it might possibly be because he erased disbelief from Mecca and other Arab lands of which he prophesized would convert and came about after his passing. In many visions, and in the state of wakefulness, the Prophet was shown the boundaries of his nation and promised it would extend to those limits. The erasing of disbelief is referred to in general, meaning victory and overcoming as Allah says, "It is He who has sent forth His Messenger with guidance and the Religion of truth to uplift it above every Religion" (9:33).
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
