“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets.” (Quran 33:40)
This verse emphasizes that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final prophet in a line of prophets sent by Allah, including Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and others. Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammad’s message is the culmination of all previous messages and that his teachings are the final guidance for humanity.
As the last prophet, Hazrat Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) role is seen as:
- The final messenger of Allah’s revelation.
- The embodiment of the perfect example for humanity (Uswa-e-Hasana).
- The leader who established the Islamic community (Ummah) based on justice, equality, and compassion.
This belief in Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) as the last prophet is a central aspect of Islamic theology and is a cornerstone of Muslim faith and identity.
That’s correct! Muslims believe that there is no prophet after Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him). He is considered the final messenger of Allah, and his teachings are the last revelation from Allah to humanity.
The Quran emphasizes this point in several verses, including:
- “And [mention, O Muhammad], when Allah said, ‘O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the children of Israel, “Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?”‘ He said, ‘Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that which I had no right to [say].'” (Quran 5:116)
This verse indicates that Jesus, a prophet of Allah, did not claim to be divine or the son of God, and that Allah is one and indivisible.
- “And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” (Quran 21:107)
This verse highlights the universal message of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and that his teachings are a mercy for all humanity.
- “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets.” (Quran 33:40)
This verse, as mentioned earlier, emphasizes that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the final prophet sent by Allah.
These verses and others in the Quran, along with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), reinforce the belief that there is no prophet after him and that his message is the final guidance for humanity.
