Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)







                And when Jesus son of Maryam said, "Tribe of Israel, I am the
                Messenger of Allah to you, con firm ing the Torah which came be -
                fore me and giv ing you the good news of a mes sen ger aft er me
                whose name is Ahmad." When he brought them the clear signs,
                they said, "This is down right mag ic." (Surat as-Saff, 6)

                The Prophet Jesus (pbuh) imparts the tidings that this messenger
            who will come after him will be called "Ahmad." Examination of the
            Qur'an as a whole shows that those verses referring to the Prophet
            Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) either use the
            name "Muhammad" or else just the term "Prophet." Nowhere in the
            Qur'an is the name "Ahmad" used for our Prophet (may Allah bless him
            and grant him peace). The name appears only once in the Qur'an, in a
            verse revealing the glad tidings of a messenger. This supports the idea
            that the name "Ahmad" may well refer to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) who will
            come in the End Times, as well as our Prophet (may Allah bless him and
            grant him peace). And Allah knows the truth. In addition, as in the previ-
            ous verse, the fact that it is the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) who imparts the
            name of the messenger is another piece of evidence reinforcing this inter-
            pretation.
                In his hadiths our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
            peace) also provides the following information about the name of Hazrat
            Mahdi (pbuh):
                ... He has made Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), whose name is AHMAD, and whose
                fa ther's name is Abdullah, a rul er over you. Follow him. (al-Qawl al-mukh -
                tasar fi al a mat al-mah di al-mun ta zar, p. 31.)

                ... Follow him, he is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). And his name is AHMAD bin
                Abdullah... (Alamat al-Qiyama, Madina Allama Muhammad bin Rasul al-
                Hussain al-Barzanji, Pamuk Publishing, 8th ed., p. 165.)
                Ibn Masood (ra) re port ed that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him
                and grant him peace) said, "His name will be sim i lar to  my name and his
                fa ther's name to my fa ther's name." (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)
