MOHAMMAD (SW), THE SEAL OF PROPHETS

Q         Explain what Muslims mean by the title “Seal of the Prophets”.   
[4-N-08][4-J-02]

“Mohammad (saw) is not the father of any of your men, but he is the
  messenger of Allah and the last of the prophets -----”(Al Ahzab-40)

The word “seal” or the Arabic word “Khatim” is used to close something. Here it means that the chapter of prophethood has been closed and after Mohammad (saw), no prophet will come until the Day of Judgment. Mohammad (saw) says:
“The building of Islam was complete but there was space for one last brick.
  That brick is me”.


Mohammad (saw) has delivered the final message of Islam to humanity. Quran is the Book of Allah which is well preserved and safe from any corruption or change. The teachings of Mohammad (saw) are also safe and a part of Muslims’ lives since the very beginning of Islam. The teachings of Islam are applicable to every society and every period of time. Due to these reasons there is no need for any prophets. In his last sermon, the Prophet (sw0 declared clearly that after him, there will be no prophet.
