The Prophet Muhammad is the final prophet of Islam and the seal of prophets (Khatam-un-Nabiyyin). This means that the revelation and Sharia he brought is final, and there will be no more prophets after him.
|
|
|
|
This is supported by evidence in both the Quran and Hadiths.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence from the Quran
|
|
|
|
![[Quran 33-40.png]]
|
|
|
|
>"Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but the Messenger of Allah and the seal of the prophets. (Quran 33:40)
|
|
|
|
![[Quran 5-3.png]]
|
|
|
|
>"This day I have perfected for you your religion, and completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (Quran 5:3)
|
|
|
|
This verse clearly states that Allah's message is complete, and there is no need for any new prophet or book.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence from Hadiths
|
|
|
|
### The "Brick in the Wall" Hadith
|
|
>"My likeness among the prophets before me is that of a man who built a house, completed it, and made it beautiful, except for a space of one brick in the corner. I am that brick, and I am the Seal of the Prophets (Khatam al-Nabiyyin)." — Sahih al-Bukhari
|
|
|
|
This hadith states that the Prophet is the final link in a long chain of prophets. He has finally completed that chain, and there will be no prophets after him.
|
|
|
|
### The "Thirty Liars" Hadith
|
|
>"There will arise thirty liars (dajjaloon) among my Ummah, each one of them claiming that he is a prophet. But I am the Seal of the Prophets, and there is no prophet after me." — Abu Dawood
|
|
|
|
This hadith states that anyone claiming to be a prophet after Muhammad would be a liar because he is the final prophet and Allah will send no prophet after him.
|
|
|
|
Faith in the finality of the prophet is required by every Muslim, otherwise, his faith would be incomplete. If a person believes in a prophet after Muhammad, that person would be denying the teachings of Muhammad and the guidance of Allah, and hence would be a Kafir.
