    Ep. 99: Names of the Beloved ﷺ Part 1: Muhammad - Hassan Lachheb

    While we may be well-acquainted with the Names of God, the names given to the Messenger of God himself may be unfamiliar to us. While previous generations used these names to describe, understand and emulate the Messenger ﷺ, it is a reflection of our modern disconnect with the Muhammadan reality that today we have largely forgotten these names. In this series, Shaykh Hassan Lachheb dives into an exploration of the names of the Beloved ﷺ, providing a glimpse into the many facets of the Prophet ﷺ to foster a deeper connection with him in our daily lives. In Part 1, Shaykh Hassan introduces the concept of the Prophetic Names and reflects on his most well-known name, Muhammad ﷺ.
