Mel and Al continue to discuss the origin of the name Mehmet and today they discuss what the Sufis think and believe. They say that Mehmet was the source of light and Adam was created by him. This name was used to refer to God/ Jesus, and later evolved to refer to an Arabian prophet.  Mehmet was originally a title and it was used for centuries before it was changed to Mohammad.  In other words Mehmet was a reference to God; the highly praised one, and was applied to Jesus on coins.
