306. Essence of Islam-IV. Musalman Firqah Ahmadiyyah. It would also be appropriate to call it Muslims of the Aḥmadī faith…I have chosen this name because the Holy Prophetsa had two names, Muḥammad and Aḥmad sa. The name 'Muḥammad' contained an implicit prophecy that the. Holy Prophets would punish with the sword such enemies who would have attacked Islam with the sword and slaughtered hundreds of Muslims. But the name 'Ahmad' represented his beauty, which indicated that he would spread peace and harmony in the world. God so arranged the life of the Holy Prophetsa that his Meccan life was a manifestation of his name. Aḥmad and the Muslims were taught steadfastness and endurance, while in his life in Medina, his name. Muḥammad was manifested, and God in His wisdom decided to chastise the enemy. But there was a prophecy that the name Aḥmad would be manifested again in the latter days and that a person would appear through whom the qualities of beauty, which characterized Aḥmad, would be manifested, and all fighting would come to an end. For this reason, it has been considered appropriate that the name of this sect should be the Aḥmadiyyah Sect, so that everyone hearing this name should realize that this sect has come into being for the spread of peace and harmony and that it would have nothing to do with war and fighting.
