Explanation

The name "Muhammad" appears explicitly four times in the Quran: in Surah Aal-e-Imran (3:144), Surah Al-Ahzab (33:40), Surah Muhammad (47:2), and Surah Al-Fath (48:29). In addition to this, the Prophet ﷺ is also referred to by other names and titles such as Ahmad (61:6), Rasul, Nabi, and Muzzammil, but the specific name "Muhammad" occurs only four times.

Good to know

The four occurrences of the name Muhammad ﷺ are found in different contexts: Surah Aal-e-Imran emphasizes his mortality as a messenger, Surah Al-Ahzab declares him the Seal of the Prophets, Surah Muhammad mentions him in the context of believers' deeds, and Surah Al-Fath describes him as the Messenger of Allah. The name Ahmad, which the Prophet ﷺ himself mentioned as one of his names, appears once in Surah As-Saff (61:6) as Prophet Isa's prophecy.
