Mohammad - The Last Messenger? I understand that Islam teaches that Muhammed is the LAST MESSENGER. I know that the Quran teaches that Muhammed is the last prophet. IS THERE A VERSE IN THE QURAN THAT STATES THAT MUHAMMED IS THE LAST MESSENGER? Reply The Qur'an has called Mohammad "Kha'tam al-Nabiyyi'n" which means seal of the prophethood. Muslim scholars, from the beginning to date have interpretted that this phrase implies that Mohammad (pbuh) was the last prophet and no other prophet shall come after him. Moreover, the Qur'an has categorically stated that the revelation of Allah's deen has been perfected and thereby His favor to mankind has been completed (Al-Maidah 5: 3) Besides these verses, the Qur'an does not require from us to wait for or believe in any prophet after Mohammad (pbuh), which was the case in the Torah or the Gospels. Thus, if the Qur'an is complete guidance and the Qur'an does not require from us to wait for or believe in any prophet after Mohammad (pbuh), then why should I do so? I hope this short reply helps. In case any further clarification is required please feel free to write back to me. Regards The Learner
