derived your name and attribute from His own name and description. Allah Almighty conferred the name awwal upon you because you are the first of the prophets in terms of creation (as your light was created first). He also named you ākhir because you are last of the Prophets to be sent, and you are the final Prophet of the final Ummah.

Similarly, Allah Almighty also gave you the name bāṭin as Allah Almighty had written your name next to His own on the ꜤArsh 2,000 years before Prophet Ādam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم was created. He also called you ẓāhir because he granted you dominance over all religions and made apparent your sacred law and virtue to all those in the heavens and earth.^[1]

Further names of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Dear Islamic brothers! In the scriptures that were revealed to Prophet Shīth عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is called ‘Ākharu Mākh’, which means صَحَیْحُ الْاِسْلَام, i.e., Prophet of the Correct Religion. Similarly, in the previous heavenly books, one of his names is ‘Iklīl’, which means Crown. Meaning, Crown of the Prophets, because just as a crown surrounds the entire head, his Prophethood encompassed all of creation, as he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the Prophet of the prophets, angels, jinn and humans. In short, besides Allah Almighty, he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the Prophet of everything in existence.

A well-known name of his mentioned in the Injīl is ‘Bār Qalīṭ’, the meaning of which is رُوْحُ القدس, i.e. Pure Soul. Another blessed name of his is ‘Jabbār’, which means the one who rectifies the Ummah, the one who shows the path of guidance, the one who is stern towards the enemies of Allah Almighty, and the one who has superiority over all humans.^[2]
