What can one say about his superiority, for approximately 70 of his names are the names of Allah Almighty.

What can one say about his esteemed rank, for one of his names is Ahmad. Since the creation of earth, nobody has had this name so that there remains no doubt that the Ahmad mentioned in the previous heavenly scriptures is indeed our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.[4]

What can one say of his unparalleled prestige, for he is able to see what is behind him in the same way that he sees what is before him. He is able to see at night the way he sees in the day.[5]

What can one say about his fine ability, for his hearing was better than the hearing of all others. He was able to hear the sound that was produced due to angels congregating in the heavens. The Archangel
