Peace be upon you.
Peace be on all..The word Muhammad is derived from word 'hamd' (praise and eulogy). Thus Muhammad means the one who is praised much. Ahmad means the one who praises much. Both names belong to Holy Prophet of Islam.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) writes:
"All Divine attributes and Divine works mentioned in the Holy Quran are qualities of the name Allah. It is, for instance, said Alhamdu lillahe Rabbil-aalameen (All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of Universal Providence)."
"What is the secret underlying the introduction of the Fatiha [the first chapter] by the Holy Quran with the attributes Al-hamdu lillahe, Rabbilaalameen, Ar Rahmanir Rahim, Malike Yaumiddeen! It adopted this style to refute those who deny the existence of God and His attributes Rabb (Lord of Providence), Rahman (Gracious), Rahim (Compassionate), Malike Yaumiddeen (Master of the Day of Judgment). Remember, he who does not pay due heed to the words and phrases of the Holy Quran which are canonical, does not truly appreciate the value of the Quran."
" These four attributes of God, the Supreme, namely Rabbil Aalameen, Ar Rahmanir-Rahim, Malike Yaumiddeen, mentioned in Surah Fatiha, though they manifest themselves continuously in the cosmos, in fact embody prophecies which receive scant attention from people. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) illustrated the operation of these four attributes in his own person, for it is not possible to grasp a truth clearly without illustration."
Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) explains that Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) grew up in state of extreme adversity. There was no school etc where he could have gone for developing his religious and spiritual faculties. He did not have any contact with cultured people to learn science and philosophy:
" Yet he was granted a bounty in the shape of the Holy Quran in contrast with whose high and righteous instruction all other sciences pale into insignificance. One who studies the Holy Quran with some attention and reflects over it will at once appreciate that all the philosophies and sciences of the world are as nothing compared to it and that all the wise men and philosophers are left way behind ."
Hazrat Promised Messiah (a.s.) tells how Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) is the perfect manifestation of four fundamental divine attributes mentioned in Surah Fatiha:
" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was the manifestation of the first attribute Rabbil aalameen Lord of Universal Providence) as Allah, the Supreme, has said; We have sent Thee as a mercy for the Universe (21.108). As Rabbil aalameen signifies universal providence, the grace, blessings, guidance and the message of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) were assigned to the whole world and the entire universe. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) became also the manifestation of the next attribute Al-Rahman, for there was no return or recompense for his beneficence and benevolence: I seek from you no recompense for it (25.58). Again, he is the manifestation of the attribute Rahimiyyat. The hardships suffered by him and his companions in the cause of Islam and the pains they endured in this behalf were not in vain. In fact, they were all rewarded and the expression Rahim was applied in the Holy Quran to the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). He is also the manifestation of the attribute Malike Yaumiddeen. Its full manifestation occurred on the day of the fall of Mecca. Such a perfect manifestation of the four Divine attributes which in fact are Mother attributes never took place in the case of any other Prophet."

The true light of Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) is for all world and it will continue to spread with peace and love. Time and again some people try to stop this light with the blows from their mouths but in vain.
Hazrat Khalifatul Messiah V (may Allah be his Helper) said some times ago:
"... it is their [believers] duty to invoke Durood and Salaam (salutations and peace) upon the Holy Prophet sa. Vulgarities, maliciousness and mockery do not in the least affect the honour and dignity of the Prophetsa in any way, shape or form. He is such a great Prophet sa upon whom even God and His angels send Durood. It is thus the duty of believers to constantly engage in Durood (invoking blessings and salutations) upon the Holy Prophet sa. When the enemy exceeds in vulgar acts, then they should invoke Durood upon the Holy Prophet sa more than before.
Bless O Allah, Muhammad and the people of Muhammad, as You did bless Abraham and the people of Abraham; You are indeed the Praiseworthy, the Glorious! Prosper, O Allah, Muhammad and the people of Muhammad, as You did prosper Abraham, and the people of Abraham; You are indeed the Praiseworthy, the Glorious! "
