My Understanding of "hamd"
-
Peace be upon you,
Here is my understanding. It is based on the word "hamd", which deals with exaltation. We EXALT the God, not our Ego's. There is a verse to tell us what to do.
(1779) And from the night you shall meditate/reflect upon it additionally for your spirit/mind, perhaps your Lord would grant you to an exalted status (maqaman mahmoodan).
We are told to meditate/reflect upon "something" , which in turn will be beneficial for our spirit/mind and bring us to an exalted status. It is this exalted status that is described by the term "muhammadun".
Lets look and see what we must reflect upon
(177 Maintain the programming to the sun's rubbing to the night's darkness, and the dawn's proclamation, truly the dawn's proclamation is being witnessed.
A metaphor for taking conscious truths into the spirit(subconscious). We are programming our spirits/minds(nafs) with correct behavior(good seeds). The metaphor is based on the merging of the day into the night. Doing it at actual dusk would be beneficial for your mind and keep you in tune with the Universe. We take the attributes of the God and program them as our behavior. This is God coming into the "vessel" of You. Thats what we are here to do, purify the Garden(nafs/mind/spirit) and plant good seeds so that the attributes of the God grow within you.
What we program eventually comes up in our dreams to give us an indication of how well we have programmed, that is the PURPOSE of dreams. Read the story of "joseph". Life works according to cycles, just like agriculture , wordly and mentally. The dawns proclamation is the wisdom you get from the dream feedback. We are to meditate/reflect on the wisdom of the dreams, this is what will get us to an exalted status, whose description is "exalted" (ahmad). The image is the coming out of the spirit/subconscious with wisdom to plan the day(consciousness).
So here are the verses you asked about.
(3144) And one who is "hamd" is not but a messenger, have passed from before him the messengers, so if he dies, or is killed, will you return on your heels? And who returns, on his two heels, so he will never/not harm The God, a thing, and The God will reward the thankful.
Those who follow the law and become exalted (Gods attributes flow through thier vehicles) , become leaders, but when this vehicle seperates fron the spirit at "death", the followers who have not achieved a certain level (maqam) tend to lose steam. We can see it in the rise and fall of empires in the world, and all kinds of defined movements. When the leader "dies", it shows that many of the followers where focused on the man and not the message, which is the only importance.
(3340) One who has "hamd" is not a father (to) anyone from your men, but only The God's messenger, and the intuiters' seal, and The God is with every thing knowledgeable.
One who is exalted (God's attributes flow through thier vehicle) is not anyones father except the father of the God's messenger (one whose vehicle brings the knowledge). Father is a metaphor of the penetrating message within the feminine nafs(spirit/mind). The status of exaltation is where one must get in order to get intuition (knowledge from within the spirit). If one does not get to thgis status one is SEALED from divine knowledge and must always be a follower.
(472) And those who trust and do righteous deeds, and trust with what is descended on one who is "hamd", and it is the truth from their Lord, He covered/substituted from them their sins/crimes, and He corrected/repaired their mind/thought/condition.
That verse speaks for itself.
(4829) One who has "hamd" (is) The God's messenger, and those who with him (are) strong over the rejectors, merciful between them, you see them bowing, prostrating wishing/desiring grace/favour from The God, and an acceptance/approval , their marks/identifications/expressions (are) in their faces(character) from the prostration(hearing and obeying), that (is) their similitude/metaphor in the "torah", and their example in the "injeel", as/like a plant/crop, it brought out/emerged its sprout/shoot , so it surrounded and strengthened it, so it hardened/thickened , so it straightened/leveled on its stem, it pleases/marvels the sowers/seeders/planters to anger/enrage with it the rejectors, The God promised those who trusted and did the correct/righteous deeds from them, forgiveness and a great reward.
One who is exalted is elaborated upon and is metaphorized as a strong plant that marvels the sower. It is saying that just as you plant a good seed and protect it and bear good fruit, so will you do in the realm of the spirit(nafs/mind), which is the soil of the garden(jannah).
And lets not forget another verse that is normally forgotten when discussing this issue;
(616) And when Isa, Mariam's son said "You, Israel's sons, surely I am The God's messenger to you, confirming to what (is) between my hands from the "torah" and an announcer of good news with a messenger (that) comes from after me, his description (is) ahmad(h-m-d exalted)." So when he came to them with the signs, they said "That (is) clear/evident magic/sorcery."
Isa is the seed divinely planted by the God in the purified virgin mind, the one that is seperated from its family(tradition) by a barrier, so it cant interfere. It is a message too all of us children of "israel". After the seed of Isa, the God's Word, the messiah, the one we point to when questioned by our family grows, then comes the message of exaltation, the seal of the intuiters.

Peace,
I wanted to bring up a controversial issue which I've raised before and study of the "H-M-D" issue has brought up something new.
The root H-M-D occurs in the reading 68 times.
10 of these refer to "Al-Hameed" which means The Praiseworthy and refers only to the God in this manner.
That leaves 58 others.
4829 is one of these. I've raised the issue that 4829 may be a false verse before. See http//www.free-minds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3007
Now if this is eliminated it leaves 57 which is 19x3.
The coefficient 3 is the number of references to the remaining Muhammad words.
Regards.
