I speak from the knowledge of the saints of Islam.
When Moses came, he announced that a magnificent one and the beloved of God would one day come. That one, through his charisma would somewhat remind of Moses. That one whose coming Moses announced was Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).
When Jesus came, he wanted to clarify that he was not that one whom Moses talked about. God mentions it in the Qur'an this way:
"And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad."
Ahmad is another name for Muhammad. When we say Ahmad, we point to Muhammad in heaven. When we say Muhammad, we point to Muhammad on earth. But in any case Muhammad is the generally used name.
Ahmad in English means the most glorious. Muhammad means the most praised.
Uhuh....
stenk------when you read that ----think (approximately)
CHAMOOD (? sorta) which we sometimes
translate as 'charming' It is a semitic root-----I think
'ch' "m' 'd" chet, mem daleth but
I am not sure
its the root of the name muhummad and
achmed is a kind of diminutive
of Muhammad Muslims get really excited
over this uninteresting issue. They get
ALL KINDS OF EXCITED over the shtiut
they hear in the mosques on Friday afternoon.
<<< a factoid of which I am aware because
I have interacted lots and lots with lots of
muslims (got that, toxoid?)
