Question
Where can I find the different names of Prophet Muhammad?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, has many names; some scholars counted three hundred names. Some of those names are mentioned in the Quran, like Ash-Shaahid, Al-Mubashshir, An-Natheer, Al-Mubeen, Ad-Daa’ee, As-Siraaj Al-Muneer, Al-Muthakkir, Ar-Rahmah, An-Ni’mah, Al-Haadi, Ash-Shaheed, Al-Ameen and Al-Muddathhir. Some other names are mentioned both in the Quran and the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition), such as Ahmad and Muhammad, and some are mentioned only in the Sunnah, like Al-Mahi, Al-Hashir, Al-‘Aaqib, Al-Muqaffi, Nabiyyur-Rahmah, Nabiyyut-Tawbah and Al-Mutawakkil.
Among the known names of the Prophet are Al-Mukhtaar, Al-Mustafa, Ash-Shafi’, Al-Mushafi’, As-Saadiq and Al-Masdooq.
To know about other names, please read the books of Seerah (biography) of the Prophet on our site.
Allaah Knows best.
