Ahmad
Ahmad, Ahmed or Ahmet are the principal transliterations of an Arabic given name, أحمد.
Etymology
Ahmad comes from the Arabic triconsonantal root of Ḥ-M-D, meaning "highly praised", which in turn implies "one who constantly thanks God." Several Arabic names are derived from this root word.
The name Ahmad has its origins in a prophecy attributed to Jesus, in the Quran in Surah 61: As-Saff (The Ranks). Some Muslim scholars see the names parallel in the word 'Paraclete' in the biblical text. This view is not universal considering translations, meanings and etymology.
Regarding Ibn Ishaq's biography of Muhammad, the Sirat Asul Allah, Islamic scholar Alfred Guillaume wrote:
Lexicology
Other Arabic names from the same root include Mahmud, Ahmed, Hamed, Muhammad and Hamid. The name has one of the highest number of spelling variations in the world.
Interpretations and meanings of Ahmad
Ahmad passage
Here are three translations of the passage in question in Surat 61 verse 6:
- Sahih International
Sultan Ahmad of Brunei
Ahmad of Brunei (also known as Awang Pateh Berbai or Pateh Berbai) was the third Sultan of Brunei. He was the brother of the first sultan Muhammad Shah of Brunei. He ascended the throne in 1408 and changed his name to Ahmad. He was succeeded on his death by his son-in-law Sharif Ali.
Other information
He was the first Pengiran Bendahara (Vizier) in Brunei, later given the title Pengiran Bendahara Seri Maharaja Permaisuara. He married the younger sister of Ong Sum Ping (also known as Pengiran Maharaja Lela). Sultan Ahmad died in 1425, while his son Nakhoda Angging was Brunei Maharaja in the Sulu and thus, was succeeded by his son-in-law, Sultan Seri Ali or Sharif Ali, the great Sufi Berkat.
Uncertainties
The earliest historical record of the Sultans of Brunei is not clearly known due to the poor early documentation of Brunei history. In addition there has been an effort to Islamise the history, with the "official history" not matching up with verifiable foreign sources The Batu Tarsilah - the genealogical record of the kings of Brunei - was not started until 1807. Therefore, much of the intepretation on history relied on earlier Chinese sources and legends. It seems that the early Sultanate of Brunei was dependent on Chinese support, and perhaps early Sultans were of Chinese origin. Furthermore the earliest Sultans may have been practising the Hindu or Buddhist religions, with early names indicating this origin.
Ahmad Jalayir
Sultan Ahmad was a Jalayirid ruler (1382–1410). He was the son of Shaikh Awais Jalayir.
Struggle With His Brothers
Ahmad came to power as a result of a plot against his brother Shaikh Hussain Jalayir. In 1382 he departed from Ardabil, which he had been given control of, and took Tabriz; Husain was captured and executed. Ahmad's other brothers, Shaikh 'Ali and Bayazid opposed him; Husain's former amir, 'Adil Aqa, had Bayazid proclaimed sultan in Soltaniyeh, while Shaikh 'Ali prepared to leave Baghdad and march on Tabriz. To secure his position, Ahmad requested the assistance of the Black Sheep Turkmen. Shaikh 'Ali fell in battle against the Turkmen; within two years Ahmad was also able to neutralize Bayazid (see Bayazid (Jalayirids) for further details).
Conflict With Timur
In the spring of 1384 the Chagatai amir Timur attacked the Jalayirids. Although Sultan Ahmad was not captured, his subordinates in Soltaniyeh failed to defend the town and Timur took it with a minimum of resistance. Timur gave the town to 'Adil Aqa, who had defected to him, before retiring from the campaign. Ahmad then sent an army to retake Soltaniyeh, but 'Adil Aqa successfully defended it.

We Want the Funk
by: Ahmad{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk} - *2X*
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{We want the funk!} - *both 4X*
[Ahmad]
Dig it the mic is mine I'm the incredible man, with the gift of gab
And when I speak you'll be doin the freak
So if, you don't want the funk then you a punk
Everybody out of they chairs should go for theirs, and
if you can find anyone better or as bad as mine
that's thick as a dreadlock and rocks like Lenny Kravitz
then you done great, you done good
Wait I hope they told you, I'll explode to any track
I'm back on top, ready to drop bombs
I'm the only rapper that can rap like this, then do the twist
So HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE let put the boom back in it
to show the Joneses can win it, and that's my crew
That's my clan, that's my posse
The niggaz with the funky tunes, turn up the volume
All you ballers, with your six-four Impalas
and bass comin out of your trunk, you better holla if you want the funk
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{We want the funk!} - *both 4X*
[Ahmad]
Word now everybody get up, then sit back down and yell (HO!)
The niggarole's back with a verse and it gets worse
By worse I mean better than you and I can do
crews and never lose in fights because I write
and flip scripts I rip up punks and do a cheer
Think I'd ring the funk bell yell (party over here!)
Now peep what I wrought and maybe I even got
a million funk styles for ya bay-bay
In stacks so when I rap the claps come
through I'm new but been hearin cheers for years and
Fear is a mindstate, I rip up raps and do up dance stuff
The great Ahmad, if you agree then nod
your head like this or like that I can rap with anyone
and still won't fall, I do it all
So y'all kids with tapes on your shelves and
twelves boomin out of your trunk, you better yell if you want the funk
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{We want the funk!} - *both 6X*
[Ahmad]
Well I'm still kickin the funk, don't believe it you don't have to
But, bet a buck, you gon' believe it when I leave it stuck
Imprinted, through a rhyme I invented
to indent your skull cause I got SOUL
Everybody get ready, then set go and when I let go
of the microphone, get your jam on
But one more thing before I sing cause I'm fat
And ask for you please get off your rump
and SCREAM if you want the funk
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{We want the funk!} - *both 4X*
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
{Party over here, bust you over there} - *2X*
*repeat all 8X*
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk} - *2X*
{If you didn't come to dance..} {We want the funk!}
{Give me that funky baby, give me that funk} - {We want the funk!}
*repeat this 8X*
{If you didn't come to dance, then you don't want the funk}
