Dear Islamic brothers! A fundamental tenet of the religion of Islam is the belief that Allah Almighty concluded the chain of Prophethood and Messengership with the Final Prophet, Sayyidunā Muḥammad al-Muṣṭafāʾ صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. After him, no Prophet or Messenger has come, nor can one come, nor will one come. Anyone who denies this belief, or harbours even a fraction of a doubt about it, is excluded from the fold of Islam.
The Greatest Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had already given a prophecy of the Unseen, saying, "There will be thirty major liars in my Ummah, each of them will claim to be a Prophet, but I am the Final Prophet and there will be no Prophet after me."¹ The fact that our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the Final Prophet is established by explicit verses of the Holy Qur'an, Hadith, and the unanimous consensus of all the Companions, their successors, and the entire Muslim Ummah. Let us first listen to the Qur'anic verses and their interpretations on this matter.
Allah Almighty says:
مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ اَبَاۤ اَحَدٍ مِّنْ رِّجَالِكُمْ وَ لٰكِنْ رَّسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ وَ خَاتَمَ النَّبِیّٖنَؕ-
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men. However, he is the Messenger of Allah and the last of the Prophets[1]
