There are many names of Prophet peace be upon him in Quran and sunnah. How much are they? We have to do research on this. There is no clear Quranic verse or hadith which talks about his exact number of names. Some of the people of knowledge tried to compile his names from the Book and the Sunnah. Shams ud din Sakahawi (d 902h) made whole chapter on his names in his Book "Al Qawl al Badee fe Salaah al-al Habib ash-Shafee" and wrote the opinion of some scholars that the names of Prophets are ninety nine like Allah subhana wa tala... Sakhawi himself wrote 450 names of Prophet peace be upon him in his book but he also cleared that there are many names among the names of prophet peace be upon him which are attributes of Prophet and not the exact names. The scholars made his name from his attribute.(end)
Note: These are only few prayers, surely there are a lot of prayers of Prophet peace be upon him which are accepted by Allah
1. Prayer of Prophet Peace be upon him to prevent the drought
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While the Prophet was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O, Allah's Apostle! Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)". So the Prophet raised his hands. At that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him in Whose Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered his hands, clouds gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet. It rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till the next Friday. The same Bedouin or another man stood up and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
1. Anas reported that a woman had a partial derangement in her mind, so she said. Allah's Messenger, I want something from you. He said: Mother of so and so, see on which side of the road you would like (to stand and talk) so that I may do the needfull for you. He stood aside with her on the roadside until she got what she needed[Sahih Muslim Book 30 Chapter 19 : THE NEARNESS OF ALLAH'S APOSTLE (MAY PEACE BE UPON HIM) TO THE PEOPLE AND THEIR SEEKING BLESSINGS FROM HIM (AND HIS POSSESSIONS), Number 5751]
1. Jabir b. Abdullah reported: We went along with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) on an expedition towards Najd and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) found us in a valley abounding in thorny trees. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) stayed for rest under a tree and he suspended his sword by one of its branches under which he was taking rest. The persons scattered in the valley and they also began to take rest under the shade of trees, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: A person came to me while I was asleep and he took hold of the sword. I woke up and found him standing upon my head and I had hardly become alert (and saw) that the sword was in his hand. And he said: Who can protect you from me? I said: Allah. He again said: Who can protect you from me? I said: Allah. He put his sword in the sheath (and you can see) this man sitting here. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) did not in any way touch him. (Muslim Book #030, Hadith #5665)
1. Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: One who makes efforts (for earning to be spent) on a widow and the destitute is like a striver in the cause of Allah, and I think he also said: He is like one who constantly stands for prayer and observes fast without breaking it.[Sahih Muslim Book 42, Chapter 3 : BENEVOLENT TREATMENT TO THE WIDOWS, ORPHANS AND THE POOR Number 7107]
1.Anas b. Malik reported: I served the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) for ten years, and, by Allah, he never said to me any harsh word, and he never said to me about a thing as to why I had done that and as to why I had not done that.(Muslim Book #030, Hadith #5720)
2. Narrated Anas bin Malik: I never prayed behind any Imam a prayer lighter and more perfect than that behind the Prophet and he used to cut short the prayer whenever he heard the cries of a child lest he should put the child's mother to trial. (Bukhari Book #11, Hadith #676)
3. A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), said: A woman came to me along with her two daughters. She asked me for (charity) but she found nothing with me except one date, so I gave her that. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that.

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahamatullahi Wa Barkatahu (May Peace, Mercy & Blessings of Allah Be Upon You).
Islam is Not just a religion but is a complete system of life for a mankind to live. Islam orders us all that is good and moral and prohibits all that is evil from it. It orders all actions which are righteous and good and prohibits all actions that are evil and harmful.(Quran 16:90).
► Islam provides mankind with a higher system of morality that can be used by an individual to realize his greatest potential.
► Islam purifies the soul of self-seeking egotism, tyranny, wantonness, and lack of discipline.
► It creates God-fearing men who are devoted to their ideals, motivated by piety, abstinence, and discipline, and unable to make any compromise with falsehood.
► It induces feelings of moral responsibility and fosters the capacity for self-control.
► Islam generates kindness, generosity, mercy, sympathy, peace, disinterested goodwill, scrupulous fairness, and truthfulness towards all creation in all situations.
► It nourishes noble qualities from which only good may be expected.
The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam is the true religion of "Allah" and as such, its name represents the central principle of Allah's "God's" religion; the total submission to the will of Allah "God". The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true god worthy of worship "Allah" and anyone who does so is termed a "Muslim", The word also implies "peace" which is the natural consequence of total submission to the will of Allah. Hence, it was not a new religion brought by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) I in Arabia in the seventh century, but only the true religion of Allah re-expressed in its final form.
Islam is the religion which was given to Adam(pbuh), the first man and the first prophet of Allah, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. The name of God's religion lslam was not decided upon by later generations of man. It was chosen by Allah Himself and clearly mentioned in His final revelation to man. In the final book of divine revelation, the Qur'aan, Allah states the following:
"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion". (Quran 5:3)
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah (God) never will It be accepted of Him" (Quran 3:85)
Just like for a man made electronic gadget we refer to the user's manual to know how it works or for any troubleshootings or FAQs similarly the creator of all mankind Allah has given us Islam as a complete system of life for all the various aspects of our daily life. which includes eating, worshiping, sleeping, relieving oneself, dress, marriage, . In short, Islam has provided guidelines and rules for every sphere of life and society. Some of the examples which makes Islam 'The Only Complete System of Life' to live are:
► Zakat & Sadaqah, cure for Poverty: If you want a cure of poverty, then analyze the islamic system of zakathh and sadaqah. when the muslims applied zaakah in the early days they were not able to find a single poor person
► Oppression: Similarly if u want a cure for oppression, Allah says: o my servants, i have made oppression forbidden upon myself and have made it prohibited between you so oppress not one another.
► Cure for Sexual Diseases and Adultery or Fornication: and do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way (Quran 17:32), and prophet(pbuh) advised young men who are able to afford it to hasten and get married inorder to close door for forbidden relations and from having boyfriends or girlfriends.
► Cure for Intoxication(Alcohol) and Drugs: Allah says in the Quran: O you who have believed, indeed intoxicants, gambling, stone altars and divining arros are but defilement from work of satan so avoid it that you may be successful (Quran 5:90)
► Other Relatives: And render to the relatives their due rights, as (also) to those in need, and to the traveler; and do not squander your wealth in the manner of a spendthrift. (Quran 7:26)
The Prophet said: "He is not a believer who eats his fill when his neighbor beside him is hungry" and "He does not believe whose neighbors are not safe from his injurious conduct."
►Orphans: The Prophet (saws) said, I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together (Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.34 Narrated bySahl bin Sad, Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4974 Narrated by Abu Umamah).
Allah's Messenger (saws) said, The best house among the Muslims is one which contains an orphan who is well treated, and the worst house among the Muslims is one which contains an orphan who is badly treated (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4973 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah)
Those who have responded to this call and gathered together into a community (Ummah) are given the name "Muslim" and the singular object underlying the formation of this community (Ummah) is that it should make an organized effort to establish and enforce goodness and suppress and eradicate evil. The Qur'an is quite explicit on this fact as can be seen from the following verses:
"Ye are the best for Peoples, evolved For mankind, Enjoining what is right, Forbidding what is wrong, And believing in God. If only the People of the Book Had faith, it were best For them: among them Are some who have faith, But most of them Are perverted transgressors." (Qur'an, 3:1 10)
"(They are) those who, If we establish them In the land, establish Regular prayer and give Regular charity, enjoin The right and forbid wrong: With God rests the end (And decision) of (all) affairs." (Qur'an, 22:41)
