And Allah saturated Muhammad’s s as person from these two fountains and so he became like a goblet full of divine elixir and like a chandelier of divine light. And like these two attributes, Allah showered him with furq a n (differen- tiation) and combined in him glory and beauty. And he is the essence of the Torah and the Bible. And the Almighty made him a perfect mirror to reflect the glory and beauty of Allah. And He made him a divine fountain from which the entire Ummah was given plenty.

So, some people drank deep from the fountain of Muhammad s as , which sprang from Allah’s Ra h m a niyyat (graciousness) and some drank deep from the fountain that sprang from the name Ahmad, which connotes Allah’s Ra hi miyyat (mercy).
