this system, the name Muhammad has a numerical value of 313, not 92.^[1]

Scholars of Islam mention that Allah sent around 124,000 prophets, of which 313 are messengers. According to Ꜥilm al-basṭ, the name Muhammad has a value of 313, which is an indication that Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is a compendium of all the qualities, excellences, and high ranks of these 313 messengers.

A paragon of prophetic perfection

Dear Islamic brothers! This was just an indication. Otherwise, reality is that our Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was bestowed with all the qualities and excellences granted to previous prophets and messengers.
