The Uniqueness of the Name Muhammad

The name Muhammad was not common among Arabs before the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received revelation. Historical accounts suggest that very few individuals bore this name, as it was overshadowed by the prophet's significance. Some early sources even indicate that only five or six people were identified with the name Muhammad prior to the advent of Islam, leading to the conclusion that it was not widely used. This rarity highlights the unique blessing of the name for the Prophet, as the name has since become immensely popular among Muslims around the world.
