Muhammad
The Seal of the Prophets · also named Ahmad
Islam
Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the final messenger of Allah. The Quran names him four times as Muhammad and once as Ahmad, and it says the people of the earlier scriptures find him written in the Torah and the Gospel. Because the Quran is the last revelation, it is the measure by which the earlier books are read.
