In which Surah of the Quran is the name Ahmad mentioned for the Holy Prophet (PBUH)?

Explanation

In Surah Al-Saff, verse 6, Prophet Isa (Jesus, AS) addresses the Children of Israel and gives glad tidings of a messenger to come after him whose name would be "Ahmad." This is one of the two names of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) explicitly mentioned in the Quran, the other being "Muhammad" which appears in four different Surahs (Aal-e-Imran, Al-Ahzab, Muhammad, and Al-Fath). The name Ahmad means "the most praised one" and was foretold in earlier scriptures as well.

Good to know

Surah Al-Saff is the 61st chapter of the Quran and consists of 14 verses. It is a Madinan Surah that emphasizes the importance of unity and steadfastness in the cause of Allah. The verse mentioning Ahmad (61:6) is significant because it establishes the continuity of prophethood and confirms that the coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was foretold by previous prophets, including Isa (AS).
