1.         The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Two persons will be brought to the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ on the Day of Judgement. It will             be commanded: ‘Take both of them to Paradise.’ They will humbly ask: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! For which deed have we become deserving of Paradise, [though] we have not performed any [such] Paradise-deserving act.’ It will be said: ‘Go to Paradise. I have taken an oath that the one whose name is ‘Ahmad’ or ‘Muhammad’ will not go to Hell.’ (Musnad Al-Firdaus, vol. 2, pp. 503, Hadees 8515)

2.         The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has said,                 ‘I swear to My Honour and Majesty! I will not torment the one who is named after you’. (Kashf-ul-Khifa, vol. 1, pp. 345, Hadees 1243)

پُوچھے گا مَولٰی لایا ہے کیا کیا                 میں یہ کہوں گا نامِ مُحمّد

غَم کی گھٹائیں چھائی ہیں سَر پر   کر دے اِشارہ نامِ مُحمّد

رَنج و اَلَم میں ہیں نام لیوا                    کر دے اِشارہ نامِ مُحمّد

Dear Islamic brothers! After listening to the speech about the virtues of the sacred name and its blessings, many Islamic brothers must have made this mind that from now on, they will also name their children, grandchildren, etc., after ‘Muhammad’. And of course they should. But remember, there is a fear of disrespect in case of choosing the name ‘Muhammad’ and it is extremely necessary for us to protect ourselves from the disrespect. The best way to protect ourselves from the disrespect is to choose another name for calling the child after naming him ‘Muhammad’ on the day of ‘Aqeeqah. In this way, we will not only attain the blessings of the name ‘Muhammad’, but we will also be able to protect ourselves from the disrespect of this sacred name. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, it was also the practice of our pious predecessors that they would name their children after ‘Muhammad’ for attaining blessings and would choose any other name in order to call them, keeping in mind the respect and reverence.
