The hadith of our Prophet (saas) state that Hazrat Mahdis (as) name will be compatible with that of our Prophet (saas) and that Hazrat Mahdis (as) fathers name will be compatible with that of the father of the Prophet (saas).
According to Abu Dawud and Tirmidhis accounts from Ibn Masud, Rasulullah (saas) said: His name will be compatible with mine, and his fathers name with my fathers name...(Portents of Doomsday, Expanded 9th Edition, pp. 159-160)
Even if only one day is left to the life of this world, Allah will certainly prolong that day until the coming of a man [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] from the Ahl al-Bayt whose name is compatible with mine. narrated in Ahmad Ibn Hanbals Musnad.
According to Abdullah Ibn Umars (ra) account;
Rasulullah (saas) said: The world will not come to an end until a man from my Ahl al-Bayt [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] whose name is compatible with mine imposes his rule over all the Arabs.
According to another account, he said:
Even if only one day remains from the life of this world, Allah will certainly prolong that day until He sends a man from my Ahl al-Bayt [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] whose name is compatible with mine.He will fill the world that was previously filled with cruelty and oppression with truth and justice instead. related by Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasai, Bayhaqi and Abu Amr Ad-Dani.
Again according to Abdullah Ibn Umar (ra) he said:
The world will not come to an end until a man from my Ahl al-Bayt whose name is compatible with mine establishes dominion (on earth). He will fill the world that was previously filled with cruelty and oppression, with truth and justice instead. Related in Abu al-Qasim Sulaiman ibn Ahmad ibn At-Tabarani al- Mujam As-Saghir. In addition, Tirmidhis Al-Jami and Abu Dawuds Sunan by and large repeat this account, with a few minor alterations.
The hadith emphasize that these names will be compatible with one another. In other words, one must not expect Hazrat Mahdi (as) to be directly called Ahmad or Muhammad, nor his father to go by the name of Abdullah. (Allah knows the truth.)
Ahmad Muhammad Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the name Allah gives to one who will come in the End Times. Rasulullah (saas) has reported that name. In other words, his birth name will not be Ahmad Muhammad Mahdi. This is a name given him by Allah. Our Prophet (saas) does not say his name will be the same as mine in the hadith; he says it will be compatible with mine. In the same way, he says, His fathers name will be compatible with my fathers name. There is a sign and a secret in this.
We must also consider this. If someone does not want the children in his family to be Hazrat Mahdi (as) he can supposedly prevent their being Hazrat Mahdi (as) by giving them another name. In the same way, he can supposedly guarantee that his son will be Hazrat Mahdi (as) by calling him Ahmad Muhammad. That is obviously totally illogical. Allah has selected the person He wishes in destiny and has given him the name Ahmad Muhammad Mahdi. Some being given or not being given that name cannot change situation in the slightest.

Soul Winning Strategy
By: Phillip Ross | 28/11/2009Paul went for the real gusto, Jesus Christ by becoming all things to all people. Christ calls us to do more than we think we can. He calls us all to exceed our own expectations because He has sent His Holy Spirit to dwell with His people to accomplish for them -- for us -- what we cannot of ourselves accomplish.
What does God Require of Me?
By: Stephen Stillman | 28/11/2009God is our heavenly Father, and as our Father it is easy for us to become dependent on Him when we are in need. In our dependency on God we expect Him to do what we ask. The Word of God tells us that we are to ask and we will be given, but that doesn’t mean God is required to do what we ask. The Word of God tells us that it is us who are obligated, and God has requirements of us. What exactly does God require?

A Simple Servant by Rodney Howard Browne
By: Stephen Schwartz | 27/11/2009No words can describe what took place in that tiny upstairs bedroom when the corpse started to stir and Elijah saw life returning to the boy's body. No words can describe being in the middle of such a trial and then watching God, in an a miracle moment or period, work it out. Only you who've been there can nod, smile, and say,'Amen. I know exactly what you are describing ; I've seen God do it.'. That's what we could have done, or maybe that is what some televangelist might do, b...

In the final research, there had been a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-one stone flew thru the air, and that is's all there had been to it. I am not sure what your menacing giant is today. It may relate to your job, your roommate, or your varsity. Perhaps it is a person, a legal action, unemployment, a tragedy. Perhaps it is some worry that's ...

As I read those words, I love to think about my pals as great, leafy trees, who spread themselves over me, providing shade from the sun, whose presence is a stand against the blast of winter's lonesome winds. David was leaving the great town of Zion-the city named after him, the town of David. All around him the people of his household scurrie...
