‘Ahad and Ahmad, the difference between the two words is the Meem of Muhammad’, a quote from this previous post highlighting various aspects of the Arabic letters related to the name of our Beloved Messenger SallAllahu alaihi wasallam.
This ‘meem’ has such a visual impact:

…’Meem’ the Turban …

….and ‘Meem’ the Dome.
Whilst on this ‘meem’ expedition I came across the following, which may not resonate with all, but sheds an interesting light on the arrival of the Light of Truth SallAllahu alaihi wasallam and the significance of the ‘meem’ along with other letters.
‘Allah praised Muhammad (Sal.) saying, ‘O Muhammad, I would not have created anything but for you.’ According to this statement, the Rasul (Sal.) was brought into existence before creation began. Allah formed the Rasul (Sal.) within Himself as His Grace, His rahmat. Then, through the Rasul (Sal.), He formed and created all lives; He placed the mim with the sukun in their embryos. Allah created the mim and then stood as the alif that supported the mim. Allah is the only one who can support and sustain this. (The alif is the first letter of the Arabic alphabet. The sukun is a diacritical mark, and the mim is the Arabic letter for the consonant m.)
“Everything is contained within that sukun, the eighteen thousand universes and all the creations that appear within those universes. Allah alone is the alif, the straight line, which supports this sukun, this extraordinary treasure (daulat). If there is not alif, there is no sukun; if there is no sukun there is no alif. Each one is connected to the other. That is the mim, which is present in all embryos as the sperm. It is present the moment the embryo takes form. This is Muhammad (Sal.), the sukun connected to the alif. It is clearly evident that Allahu ta’ala Nayan, the Lord, God Almighty, brought creations into existence through the mim and sukun; we can actually see the sperm or mim, join with the sukun at the time of conception. Medical science has even conducted experiments in this matter with the use of microscopes and has discovered that the sperm is shaped like a mim.
“Allahu ta’ala caused His power (qudrat), the light known as Muhammad (Sal.), to appear in this manner. He created everything of His power and the mim. This light knows as Muhammad (Sal.) is the treasure that is connected to both the beginning of creation and the hereafter (al-awwal and al-akhirah). Allahu ta’ala had this light known as the grace (rahmat) as a most precious treasure that did not belong to anyone. Then He asked all the mountains, the oceans, the lands, and the trees, ‘Who can accept this most precious light? Can you take this one?’
“The power of this treasure caused the mountains, the earth, the oceans, and the trees to tremble…”
“The treasure that existed as the Final Prophet (Sal.) the son of Aminah and ‘Abdullah, as the First Prophet, in the beginning of creation (awwal), as the Rasul or Prophet in the hereafter (akhirah), and as the Rasul in the period before creation (anathi)—this treasure was revealed as Muhammad (Sal.).
“It was this Muhammad (Sal.) that was initially concealed as a mystery within Allah.”’ (continued here)

Since everything in this world is a circle, we must also complete the circle of the Arabic letters with the letter Meem. Since the word Islaam ends with the letter Meem we must complete with the letter Meem. Since the Seal Khatam ends with the letter Meem we must complete with the letter Meem Since we are created from water Maa, we started with the letter Meem. Since we finish our earthly existence with death Mawt, we must end with the letter Meem.

‘O Allah, bless our master Muhammad, the ‘ha’ (the middle letter of ‘Rahmah’) of mercy, the ‘Meem’ (the first letter of ‘Mulk’) of sovereignty, and the ‘dal’ (the first letter of ‘Da’im’) of eternity, the perfect master, the opener, the seal, as much as Your Knowledge, now or before, and whenever You are remembered and he is remembered by those who remember and whenever You are forgotten and he is forgotten by those who forget!
O Allah, bless our master Muhammad, blessings which ennoble his place of rest, honour his final destination. And on the Day of Resurrection bring him his heart’s desire and contentment! These great blessings are your right, O our master Muhammad!’ (Thursday reading of Dalail al-Khayrat, English translation)
ALLAHUMMA BARIK ALA MUHAMMADIN WA ALA ALI MUHAMMADIN KAMA BARAKTA ALA IBRAHEEMA WA ALA ALI IBRAHEEMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED
ALLAHUMMA BARIK ALA MUHAMMADIN WA ALA ALI MUHAMMADIN KAMA BARAKTA ALA IBRAHEEMA WA ALA ALI IBRAHEEMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED
ALLAHUMMA BARIK ALA MUHAMMADIN WA ALA ALI MUHAMMADIN KAMA BARAKTA ALA IBRAHEEMA WA ALA ALI IBRAHEEMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.


As-salaamu alaikum,
I’d never thought of the ‘meem’ as a turban before:-)
wasalaam,

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam Dear Ukhti Farah, there are so many aspects in the Meem Connection link that I had not thought of before too.Alhumdulillah that we are able to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave. May we all beg Allah Ta’ala that He guides us to utilize out time for that which benefits us the most in our Akhirah, Ameen.
Wassalamu alaikum
